After searching fir an answer I found mount.ntfs-3g so I type in mount.ntfs-3g /dev/sda2 /c andthe machine tells me I have an invalid argument. This is strange because when I mount sda1 with the same command it does it with no problems. Unfortunately sda1 is the device I want to clone and compress. So what is the problem?
