Any ideas as to why I can not see files of a mounted ntfs imaage?  The 
ntfs disk has two partitions (`fdisk -l /dev/hdc`)  I've made an image of
both partitions (hdc1 hdc5).  I can mount both images but only see files
in the mounted hdc5.

If I mount the partition (/dev/hdc1) and cd in the mount 
point, I see files. Any thoughts on why the dd image does not appear 
to have files when I issue an ls. 

My commands: 
dd if=/dev/hdc1 conv=noerrors of=hdc1.img 
mount -r -o loop -t ntfs hdc1.img /mnt/hdc1 
mount -r -t ntfs -o loop /dev/hdc1 /mnt/real 
ls /mnt/real --> lots of files 
ls /mnt/hdc1 --> no files 
strings hdc1.img |less --> lots of data. I see a msword doc. 

I've also tried rda with --skip-errors which yields the same results. 

the dd stream reports a read error and continues. rda reports 'no bad 
blocks' 

Additionally, autopsy doesn't recognize the image either.
