Hi All,

Is there any method applying which we can mount an NTFS partition under Linux environment and that too without using any third-party tool?

I hope some experts will come up with the answer!

The newest distributions will mount NTFS formatted windows partitions without much fuss.

Try

Code:

 mount -t ntfs /partition/to/mount /mount/point

If this does not work then you may need ntfs-3g tool to do the same. Install it with your package manager and then mount the ntfs partition as

Code:

 mount -t ntfs-3g /partition/to/mount /mount/point

And you do not need to be expert to mount a partition. Just a super user.

Actually if NTFS filesystem is supported, you shouldn't need to specify the filesystem when using 'mount' (so you could just leave the '-t ntfs' part off).
