can't mount windows nt partition


I run a redhat 8.0 box on a hard disk having three partions hda1, hda5 and hda6, hda1 is a windows nt partition, hda5 is the linux root and hda6 the swap,
i tried mounting the partition on hda1 from linux using the following command :-
mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 windowsnt (the directory windowsnt was created in /mnt)
error : mount : fs ntfs not supported by kernel

how can i get around this, pls help

Looks like you need to recompile your kernel with ntfs support...

pre-compiled ntfs modules can be found here:

http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/

just download the ntfs module, modprobe it and then try to mount.

hth.
