Having trouble mounting a drive

[Z3R0]

At first the partition seemed to be raid, but after doing a dmraid on it, fdisk said it was ntfs. Annnnnd here we go....

Code: [Select]

root@root:/mnt# mount /dev/sda1 -t ntfs-3g /mnt/win
NTFS signature is missing.
Failed to mount '/dev/sda1': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/sda1' 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 around?
So, I tried the whole disk like it said to.

Code: [Select]

root@root:/mnt# mount /dev/sda -t ntfs-3g /mnt/win
NTFS signature is missing.
Failed to mount '/dev/sda': Invalid argument
The device '/dev/sda' 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 around?
So then I checked dmesg, and I saw this. Is it a problem?

Code: [Select]

root@root:/mnt# dmesg | grep sda
[    2.612057] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] 1953525168 512-byte logical blocks: (1.00 TB/931 GiB)

[    2.612105] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Mode Sense: 00 3a 00 00

[    2.622834] sda: p2 size 3906830336 extends beyond EOD, enabling native capacity
[    2.644657]  sda: sda1 sda2
[    2.644680] sda: p2 size 3906830336 extends beyond EOD, truncated
[    2.645026] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] Attached SCSI disk
The ones that interest me particularly are [    2.622834] and [    2.644680]. A little more on the situation at hand: it's a win7 box that will show the windows boot logo, the logo will finish animating, and then the monitors deactivate as if it were in standby mode. After about 3-4 minutes it will automatically restart. Thus, I wanted to mount the drive and look through the page file to see if it had a virus, but....I can't mount.

 Let me know if you have any tips for me, or if you need more information. Thanks! <3

Yeah , can you post the output of fdisk -l ?

Ive seen so many corrupty ntfs partitions.
Hopefully yours isnt.

Here's the output of fdisk

Also, I was wrong before. It was in fact Raid 0. My mistake...

Right what are you booting?
I should have asked before but whats your kernel version?
