Long time no blog. As a note to myself, so I won't forget anymore:

bazz:/mnt/ntfs/# sfdisk -l -uS sda.disk Disk sda.disk: cannot get geometry Disk sda.disk: 9729 cylinders, 255 heads, 63 sectors/track Units = sectors of 512 bytes, counting from 0 Device Boot Start End #sectors Id System sda.disk1 63 156296384 156296322 7 HPFS/NTFS sda.disk2 * 19438650 19470779 32130 e W95 FAT16 (LBA) start: (c,h,s) expected (1023,254,63) found (1023,0,1) sda.disk3 0 - 0 0 Empty sda.disk4 0 - 0 0 Empty bazz:/mnt/ntfs/# mount -oloop,offset=$(echo "63*512" | bc) sda.disk /mnt/foo
