Suppose Mr. Raju is trying to mount a hard drive partion in Fedora or Red Hat linux, by giving a simple command
Quote:
mount -t XXX /dev/sda1 /mnt
But every time he gets error that OS is unable to mount the file system, which belongs to a Windows system. User may force mount the drive. The drive is of Capacity 50GB!
So, what command should he use to force mount it!

Hey Mridula!
in place of guessing, focus on the command u r writing!
Think, which portion is for mentioning the File System of the disk!
Then make the necessary change and post!
Now, your every command's syntax is correct!
