Take the 2-minute tour ×  Ive had the following issue. Yesterday
Ive dd-ed a HDD with fedora 18 which was split in 3 parts:
fedoras sda1 which was ext4, sda2 which was the LVM and sda3
which was ntfs storage partition. Ive cloned with dd if=/dev/sda
of=/dev/sde count 80G and after the boot, the 80G cloned image
had the mounted ntfs partition, which appears to be unmountable
and imovable. When I click on it it gaves me: Error mounting
/dev/sda3 at /run/media/ilian/Data: Command-linemount -t "ntfs"
-o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0077,fm
ask=0177" "/dev/sda3" "/run/media/ilian/Data"' exited with non-
zero exit status 12: Failed to read last sector (468840447):
Invalid argument. When Ive opened dev/sda with gparted it
reports that its unallocated data, and needs a partition table,
but creating such will erase the hdd. OK, I dont mind having the
3rd drive, since nothing is problematic with it - it just stays
there and is unaccessible, but is there a way to remove that
sda3 partition? cfdisk
