I am a newbie to linux. I have been learning in my own. Could I access NTFS partition in Redhat Enterprise Linux.If yes,which package should I install. And one more where could i find the installed path.I have another problem in extracting the file format .tar.tar. Please reply as soon as possible.
Srisci87 - I have moved your thread out of News and into Linux-Newbie as it is clearly not a news story. I have also given it a meaningful title - please don't use "Please Help" as a title, it tells your fellow members nothing about your problem.
Try mounting the NTFS drive--everything may be there: su
mkdir /mnt/win
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/win
cd /mnt/win
ls
Above assumes that Windows is on the first partition of the first IDE/PATA drive. If SATA or SCSI, change the "h" to an "s".
If not on 1st drive/partition, change numbers/letters as required.
The Linux NTFS project has the packages you need. Take a look in the Redhat/Fedora section and choose the rpms for your version of RHEL that match the kernel you are running.
