After reinstalling gentoo I am no more able to mount /dev/hda1 that is an NTFS partition. When I do: mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows/ I get this error: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1, missing codepage or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so and when I do dmesg | tail I get this: [<c01850ce>] writeback_inodes+0xce/0xe0 [<c0145870>] pdflush+0x0/0x30 [<c0144b9c>] wb_kupdate+0xcc/0x150 [<c0145770>] __pdflush+0xc0/0x1c0 [<c0145898>] pdflush+0x28/0x30 [<c0144ad0>] wb_kupdate+0x0/0x150 [<c0145870>] pdflush+0x0/0x30 [<c01331dd>] kthread+0xcd/0x110 [<c0133110>] kthread+0x0/0x110 [<c0101365>] kernel_thread_helper+0x5/0x10 My fstab is: #/dev/BOOT /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 1 /dev/hdb1 / xfs rw,exec,noatime,nodev 0 0 /dev/hdb2 none swap sw 0 0 none /mnt/dvd iso9660 fs=auto,dev=/dev/hdf 0 0 none /mnt/cdrom iso9660 fs=auto,dev=/dev/hdd 0 0 #/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs defaults 0 0 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /mnt/floppy iso9660 fs=auto,dev=/dev/fd0,--,user,rw 0 0 #/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto 0 0 # glibc 2.2 and above expects tmpfs to be mounted at /dev/shm for # POSIX shared memory (shm_open, shm_unlink).

Hmm, you should probably specify filesystem type when mounting b/c the respective entry in /etc/fstab is commented out. :-)
did you try -t vfat in your mount line, andrea? see what jakub said above. reopen if still broken.
(In reply to comment #2) > did you try -t vfat in your mount line, andrea? Actually, -t vfat won

No, it doesn't work with all the things you suggested :(
(In reply to comment #4) > No, it doesn't work with all the things you suggested :( Please, paste the output of 'cat /proc/filesystems'
cat /proc/filesystems nodev sysfs nodev rootfs nodev bdev nodev proc nodev sockfs nodev binfmt_misc nodev usbfs nodev pipefs nodev futexfs nodev tmpfs nodev eventpollfs nodev devpts reiserfs ext3 ext2 nodev ramfs nodev hugetlbfs msdos vfat iso9660 nodev devfs ntfs nodev autofs xfs
Hmm, you should check the filesystem integrity in Windows...
Reopen if you have verified that the filesystem is OK and it still fails.
