Accessing NTFS on an IDE drive through a USB external caddy
Hi folks.
've got a WinXP system that's got stuffed by a virus. I've put a new HDD in
and started a clean install and now I'm trying to use my (F17) Linux laptop
to copy the files off the old HDD and scan them. However, when I connect the
external USB caddy Linux fails to read the driver, as per the log entries
below.
Can anyone suggest how I can get access to the drive please. There is nothing
physically wrong with the drive and Windows did boot fine when it was in the
PC.

Seems to have solved a similar problem for folks using gentoo.

Hello all, my problem is sort of similar but different....see....my
problem...(or more truthfully, my sister's problem!) is she's a
Windows Admin for a company in CT / NY, she was given a 320GB laptop
hard drive that contains pertinent company info on it. She has tried
all the tools of her trade to try to get the data off, but to no
avail, finally in total despair and frustration she hands me the
drive and asks if Linux can do what Windows can't....I can only
describe the problem as thus, when I connect the drive to my Fedora
Powered laptop (FC17) it can "see" the drive, but it gives me a
message saying that I don't have "permission" to access the drive,
and that my access is "denied" so......in retrospect, can anyone
recommend or instruct me as to what application/program/utility/tool
will allow me to sort of "bypass" the permissions set by the NTFS
system and give me access to the drive's files? I'm not concerned
with preserving the integrity of them....just want to get them off that
drive and placed somewhere else, then I intend to blow the drive
away.....install it into a Dell....and (of course!) Install the beta
version of FC18 on it......any takers?....LoL! And thanks in
advance!

Don't mix your problem with another person's problem. It is almost as bad as hijacking a thread. Start your own thread since the solutions are bound to be different.
