hey well try this command...not sure if it will work but give it a whirl..
mount /dev/(the hdd you want to mount here) /mnt/(the folder you want to mount it to) -t vfat -r
that might work..
well about the ntfs thing yes you can do it you need a certain rpm file though...if you would like i could e-mail it to you..and to install it and load it you do this...first get the file into linux...then just double clikc it...then it will install then go into a terminal and type this first:
/sbin/modprobe ntfs
then type this after that
dmesg | grep NTFS
that should work and the line in the middle is the button above the enter key to get that push shift then the key above enter if you didn't alrdy know that...well just drop me your -email if you want me to send it to you...i think i still have it.
o yah once you install and load the file you then type this in your terminal
mount /dev/(the hdd you mount) /mnt/(folder you mount it to) -t ntfs -r
When you say it didn't work, did you get an error message? We need to see them before we can offer advice on what the problem is.
To mount ntfs in redhat you'll need to recompile your kernel or follow the instructions here.
i tried mount -t vfat -r /dev/hda2 /mnt/win, but still get the same error message:
wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda2,
or too many mounted file systems
(aren't you trying to mount an extended partition,
instead of some logical partition inside?)
Neo, it'd be great if you can send me the NTFS thing. I really need it. Thanks a lot :-)
