error with hfs disk

[Iain Stevenson]

It's not "exactly" the same problem.   Linux expects a mount point ie a 
directory to exist at which the file system will be mounted in advance of 
the mount command being given.  In your case it looks as though there is no 
directory /share - hence the error message. You need to, as root, do:

cd /
ls

.. make sure there is no directory called "share" just to be safe.  If 
there isn't:

mkdir share

... then try to mount the disk.
