Mounting NTFS USB Hard Drive

[daniellog]

Hi,

I have Proxmox installed on my HP microserver, I'm liking it so far. However I need to transfer a vmdk image to the server and convert it to a raw image. The image is on a NTFS usb hard drive, and when I try to mount it I get...

mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs'

I'm guessing ntfs-3g isn't installed, when I do a simple apt-get it doesn't find it. How would I go about copying over the file?

try "apt-get install ntfs-3g". Worked for me

try "apt-get install ntfs-3g". Worked for me

I get "E: Unable to locate package ntfs-3g". If I try installing from source I get a configure error because even gcc isn't install :/

try "apt-get update && apt-get install ntfs-3g"

try "apt-get update && apt-get install ntfs-3g"

I just solved this just before you replied by doing an apt-get update, got it working now. Thanks Tom!
