Make sure the ntfs-3g package is installed, then run "fdisk -l" to get the device name for the partition you're interested in, make a mount location for it, and then mount it. Which step are you getting stuck on?

this IS the very OLD rhel 5.3 ??????
you DID NOT upgrade it to the current RHEL5.8
5.8 is the current in the OLD 5 series

RHEL6.3 is the current

in 5.3 there was a known kernel bug
that killed ntfs-3g
so contact your Red Hat Tech support that you ARE paying an arm and a leg for to keep your install AT the old 5.3 level and not at the 5.8 level

the old ntfs READ ONLY and the dkms-fuse is there
but there is a bug
you will need the red hat tech support to get you the work around

this WAS FIXED in 5.4 and newer

He did, contact RedHat support. You're paying a lot of money for their support, so use it. If you're not paying for it, then you shouldn't be running RHEL.

you will need the fuse and dkms files ( and as i recall the Gnome fuse rpms ) from the old rhel5.3 repo
and ONLY your red hat tech support can get you access to the OLD 5.3 files

contact your red hat tech support

you have to install fuse-ntfs-3g,You can get the package through rpmforge repo.Since you are using older release of Redhat 5.3 you have to install kmod-fuse which you are get from ELrepo

yum --enablerepo=rpmforge install fuse fuse-ntfs-3g

as i recall that will only work for RHEL 5.4 ,5.5 to 5.8
but not 5.3

do to a bug in 5.0,5.1 5.2 and 5.3 -- fixed in 5.4
