Mount NTFS windows disk partition image in Linux

Install NTFS driver in Linux

Install the NTFS 3G driver in Linux:

sudo apt install ntfs-3g

Show all disks and partitions available:

fdisk  -l

Create Mount Point

We need to create a specific mount point in order to mount the NTFS partition:

sudo mkdir /mnt/xvdc3

Mount partition read-only

For example we now mount the partition /dev/xvdc3 read only in order not to be able to change anything on the filesystem by accident.

sudo mount -o ro /dev/xvdc3 /mnt/xvdc3
