Mounting NTFS in Gentoo Linux

[amphibious]

According to the NTFS compilation walkthrough the last step is:

mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows -t ntfs -r

which returns the error message:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1, or too many mounted file systems.

basically what I want/need to do is take two 120GB hd's I have, both formatted as NTFS both having the exact same files, format one as reiserfs, then copy everything to it, then format the other as reiserfs.

any help would be appreciated.

thanks!

I'm assuming you have NTFS read support compiled into your kernel. Try the command as "mount -t ntfs -r /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows".

I would suggest you to add an entry in your /etc/fstab file to do it for you,
