August 31, 20232 yr I'm trying to mount an HDD to pull pull some old footage from a failed CCTV DVR. I need to mount sdg2. It's reporting to be a Hidden FAT16 partition type. I've tried: mount -t vfat /dev/sdg2 /mnt/disks/dvr-HDD and get this error: mount: /mnt/disks/dvr-HDD: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdg2, missing codepage or helper program, or other error. dmesg(1) may have more information after failed mount system call. Also tried: mount -t msdos /dev/sdg2 /mnt/disks/dvr-HDD and get the same error. Disk may be bad. Any ideas? Thanks. Update: Well, looks like it's failing but can i still mount? lol Edited August 31, 20232 yr by adminmat
