ntfs nvme win10 data partition not mounting for slack but works for windows
by timsoft from LinuxQuestions.org on (#4VBXY)
I have taken an nvme drive out of a working win10 netbook, after shutting the netbook down fully (no hibernate or sleep).
my test machine is running 4.4.201 kernel on slackware64 14.2
normally I don't have problems mounting a partition with either Code:mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/partno /mnt/part1or
Code:mount /dev/partno /mnt/part1/mnt/part1 exists, and in this case partno is nvme0n1p3
(output of fdisk -l /dev/nvme0n1 gives..

Failed to mount '/dev/nvme0n1p3': Invailid argument
The device '/dev/nvme0n1p3' doesn't seem to have a valid NTFS.
Maybe the wrong device is used? Or the whole disk instead of a
partition (e.g. /dev/sda, not /dev/sda1)? Or the other way arount?the output of Code:file -s /dev/nvme0n1p3 is
Code:/dev/nvme0n1p3: DOS/MBR boot sector, code offset 0x58+2, OEM-ID "-FVE-FS-", sectors/cluster 8, reserved sectors 0, Media descriptor 0xf8, sectors/track 63, heads 255, hidden sectors 1288192, FAT (32 bit), sectors/FAT 8160, serial number 0x0, unlabeled; NTFS, sectors/track 63, physical drive 0x1fe0, $MFT start cluster 393217, serial number 02020454d414e204f, checksum 0x41462020I have run chkdsk on the partition, when it was in the netbook running win10 (it didn't find any problems).
I do have fuse-exfat and exfat-utils created with the current running kernel and installed, in case that makes any difference, although mount -t exfat /dev/nvme0n1p3 /mnt/part1 gives output Code:FUSE exfat 1.3.0
ERROR: exFAT file system is not found as you would expect, and when the nvme drive is in the netbook, windows recognises the partition as formatted with ntfs.
any ideas on what to try in order to mount the partition?
just to note, I can mount partitions 1,4,5,6, just not 2 which I am less concerned about, and 3, which has the windows installation and user data, which I would like to access.
