I believe the Linux kernel may have a sequence that will read

For read-only access to an NTFS volume (provided it was cleanly
dismounted) you should get on ok with the kernel ntfs driver, if
you want to write (or delete) files then the ntfs-3g fuse driver
is probably a better bet ... all assuming mint comes with the
drivers ....

it does

Hello all, and once again thanks for your invaluable help with this
problem... We have now, and thanks again, recovered all our sensitive
data from the Mesh hdd (we spent the best part of all yesterday
(Friday) working with the interim computer) and our objective now is
to obtain a replacement machine in due course.

Kindest regards to all... Richard (and Jenny).


I hope you now realise you need a proper backup regime or you *will*
lose it all at sometime in the future.

Mirrored disks, a USB HDD, etc. are not a backup solution for data you
want to keep.

Hi Dennis... Yes indeed!! GOT IT! I had, only two weeks prior to this 'event' said to my wife 'we MUST put in place a rigorous backup process/regime'... Oh dear... Good intentions?? Thanks for the reinforcement! Kind regards... Richard.
