I figured out how to create the nfts directory, but then realized that my installation of fedora doesn' t have the ntfs support loaded.
I think I am either going to try to figure out how to get fedora to support (just to copy the files over to the primary drive) or just use a Live Cd to copy them over. I think there are some live cds that support ntfs.
well that doesn't quite make sense. hdb would be the second drive (always) but the 1 is the contents... try "fdisk -l" and that will normally list all partitions on all detected ide devices.
