Re: mounting devices with non-open source journaling schemata...

Wassup rockers and LUG team mates:

Today's armchair quarterback question is:

I am attempting to retrieve files from two hard disks on a machine with a Microsoft XP operating system (i386), which has failed and would require a new XP install from the original media, which I have but my CD/DVD drives are failing and aren't locating the XP OS CD upon boot.

The last time the XP was backed up was 12/22/17, about 12 & 1/2 months ago, so I don't need to cp all of both drives, just whatever items I added in Documents file on one of them, and then some scans I've added on the other disk drive.

Last time I did anything like this it was with a slackware ISO, and I am this time using a freeBSD 12 edition USB bootable live ISO. The thing is booting, but I am unable to mount my USB-connected Western Digital external hard drive (onto which my backups are going) nor have I been able to successfully mount the SDA0 or SDA1 (the two SATA hard discs on the XP tower)

I cannot edit fstab because it's a live ISO therefore ro. The closest, I think, that I got was via the information at this link: http://kflu.github.io/2018/02/03/2018-02-03-freebsd-ntfs/

I was able to initiate, from the ISO kernel, the kldload fuse command, yet no luck with ntfs-3g script. Maybe that old XP's using FAT not ntfs?

Any input is welcome,

I have an external DVD drive which you are welcome to use if you wish.
Also, have you tried to mount the drives that are in the failing
computer to a different computer merely to extract the data that you
need? I should have the cables required to perform that.
