Access NTFS or FAT32 from REDHAT 9
I am a newbie for LINUX. Recently I installed REDHAT 9 on my PC. I was trying to access my windows partitions in /mnt BUT my linux system show me only /mnt/floppy and /mnt/cd-rom.
I have 2 HDDs in my PC. /dev/hda is my Windows and /dev/hdb is my POWERFUL RH 9. I created 3 partition, 2 for FAT32 and 1 for NTFS. Of course I have 2 OS in /dev/hda and that why i created 3 partition. /dev/hda1 for windows ME, /dev/hda2 for windows 2000 and /dev/hda3 for data storage purpose. HOW to access my /dev/hda???? |
look in /etc/fstab for a template on how to add filesystems for mount at boot time, until you change that you can use the mount command to mount your drives
mount -t (filsystem vfat, ntfs, reiserfs, ext3) /dev/whichever(hda1, hda2) /mnt/windows_c(or whatever other file you want) for the /mnt/windows_c you can make this as any file that you want simply make one with the command mkdir (filename) example for actual use of mount mount -t vfat /dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2 also NTFS write support is still experimental (as far as i know) you can read your data from there without any risk but writing to it leaves a possibility of crashing your system and even destroying data you can use cfdisk or fdisk to show the partition scheme of each of your drives "cfdisk /dev/hda" "fdisk /dev/hda" |
even hardware browser or in that case df will show u the partition scheme.u can download n install n rpm to acess ntfs fs but only in read mode......wqriting to a ntfs fs is not allowed
