Reading NTFS
 
What is currently the best software to read an NTFS primary partition on a basic disk?

My music resides there and i want to be able to play it in linux.

cheers

a software? do you need a software to read your Linux partition?

recompile your kernel and add NTFS support. Search on the forum for explanation, this is a very common question, answered many many times.

and of course each post *should* advise against doing it as well....

Najm, what distro are you using? You could even, in some cases, simply open up a terminal, become root, modprobe ntfs and then mount the partition in a sensible place.

Rh7.2 my kernel has support for it (i checked the box) :P
you say modprobe ntfs is all i need.

cheers Thymox

hello,
i hope you just added read support - anywho
in /etc/fstab add a line something like this
Code:

/dev/hda1 /dos ntfs defaults,user,ro,umask=002,gid=100 0 0
