Kali 2.0 USB Persistence installed.
Working with nomodeset (i.e. it fires up and everything seems working .

1.) The problem is I can't access my Hard disc partitions on kali. It say Not Mounted but when I try to mount any partition or /dev/sda it says:
mount /dev/sda
mount: can't find /dev/sda in /etc/fstab :mad:

What is the reason and solution?


2.) Another one is that sda2 is read as ext partition, How to fix it?

Device Boot Start End Sectors Size Id T ype
/dev/sda1 * 32 263610584 263610553 125.7G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda2 263618497 976773056 713154560 340.1G f W95 Ext'd (LBA) :confused:
/dev/sda5 263618560 599379904 335761345 160.1G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT
/dev/sda6 599379968 976773056 377393089 180G 7 HPFS/NTFS/exFAT

3.) How to fix display resolution as am running it with nomodeset and the resolution under display:
Unknown display
Resolution : 1024x768
Resolution : 800x600
Moreover the Aspect Ratio in both the cases is only 4:3, could it be set to 16:9?
The Ubuntu way of fixing it by editing Grub is possible in kali? If yes guide me.

Update:
Reinstalled Kali 2.0 and now it reads the HDD partitions as well but it still shows the drive /sda2 as:
/dev/sda2 263618497 976773056 713154560 340.1G f W95 Ext'd (LBA). it is a HDD partion for God sake and accessible through windows.

Still have to boot through nomodeset=0 as all installation guides are for kali 1 and installation fails where it says /etc/grub or so. Grub is simply not there. Installing Grub again won't help too.
So the problem no. 1 and 2 persist.
