    Question Can't access Hard Disc Drive Partitions anymore..

    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

    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)
    /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.
