failure to mount corrupted drive

[Steve Reilly]

hi all,


trying to recover data for a friend off an ntfs drive.  well, fdisk
reports it as ntfs anyway.  booted a gparted cd and it reported it as
unknown.

mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/disk -o force

with this command im getting an error says this doesnt seem to have a
valid ntfs?  i thought force, meant FORCE, how can i mount this drive to
get pictures off it?  using 9.04 live cd at the moment...., but have
tried no less than a dozen others, none have automounted this drive.
