mount internal HDD

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Hi,
i just installed android x86 on my Samsung Q1(old one without hardware-qwerty).
Unfortunately I can't see the internal HDD I thought i would find an drive
(e.g sd0, sd1,... ) under /dev/ but i can't find it? :/

Does someone have the same problem? or has a clue what the problem is?

chears
Toni

ya harddisk is /dev/block/sda. .............if u try to mount use this
Mount -t vfat /dev/block/sda* /mnt/sdcard.           For fat or fat 32 file 
system
Mount -t ext3 /dev/block/sda* /mnt/sdcar.             For ext3 file system
Waiting for ntfs support merged into kernel and ntfs-3g to be ported in 
android...........

I am having trouble mount internal hd as well. Im using 4.3 (would use 4.2 but 
a lot of apps strangely dont work on my 4.2 fresh setup, like astro filw 
manager).  I can mount just fine from the root rerminal, but invariably the 
regular apps can not see in contents.

Using Android x86 4.4 RC2 on my Acer Aspire One AOA150 model... And since it 
runs WinXP by default it has a NTFS file system... a help on how to use the 
Internal HDD would be of great use...

I don't know if this is the right way to do it (I'm sure there is a better 
way), but for mounting NTFS partitions I do this:

ntfs-3g /dev/block/sda3 /mnt/media_rw/usb3

where sda3 is the NTFS partition that I want to mount and usb3 is the mounting 
point (I don't know how to create another, I get read-only issues, so I use 
that).

after i've done that, sometimes i have some issues with permissions (I wasn't 
able to play music or videos from the NTFS partition), and searching I found 
this:

busybox mount /dev/block/sda3 /data/local/my_drive

and from there I can play my music and videos.

I know it's late, but I hope it helps

BTW I'm on Android-86 r1

I also tried #7 on Android -x86 r1:

   ntfs-3g /dev/block/... /data/....

but received this message:
