still trying to install this tcl/tk /amsn / emess

open up your kde control center.

command: kcontrol

it will tell you what kernel version you're running. the label maybe:

release: 2.4.XX-XX

megaspaz · 10-19-2003, 05:25 PM

anyway, go here:

http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/info/redhat.html

scroll down the page where you'll see a table. you want the Shrike - single processor row and download from the i686 column. make sure the rpm you download matches your kernel.

now how many windows partitions do you have?

jasonmcneil0 · 10-19-2003, 05:27 PM

i believe it would be 3.1-10 that's the KDE version. also release says 2.4.20-8.

so i'm hopin one of those is what u need

megaspaz · 10-19-2003, 05:31 PM

alright here's the direct link for the rpm you need to install. after installing it, you'll have to edit your /etc/fstab to add your windows partitions.

http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/l....20-8.i686.rpm

so again, how many windows partitions do you have?

jasonmcneil0 · 10-19-2003, 05:34 PM

well one is seperate hard drive, formatted in ntfs. the other is only a partition on the same drive as RH9. but i don't think i am gonna need anything from it. the 60 gig hard drive is what i use for all my data. so i guess all i need is that.

megaspaz · 10-19-2003, 05:38 PM

well without the correct drive labels, there's not much i can do for you. i guess install the rpm and then in the command line type this command as root:

/sbin/fdisk -l

that's an "L" after the hyphen... a little "L" that is...
post the output.

also better you know this now, that you won't be able to write to your windows partitions. writing to ntfs is very, very, dangerous. the most you can really do safely is view files. did i mention trying to write to an ntfs partition is very, very, dangerous?

jasonmcneil0 · 10-19-2003, 05:41 PM

would i still be able to use the files that are there? or is there a way to convert to a file system linux can write to.

My other hard drive is H:\ well least that's what is in Windows

megaspaz · 10-19-2003, 05:45 PM

well you could try to use partition magic 8 in windows to convert from ntfs to fat32. it's not free though and i don't know if it will mess up your setup in windows. as far as H:\, that doesn't really help me. running /sbin/fdisk -l will though.

remember that's a lowercase "L" after the hyphen.

edit: to directly answer your first question, you can use those files, but only read them. not write to them or execute anything on them via wine if you set up wine to use your existing windows partition.

i think you ran the wrong command:

Code:

[prompt]# /sbin/fdisk -l

Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 7296 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

[prompt]#

you sould get a listing like this. that command again is:

/sbin/fdisk -l

where "-l" = -"lowercase L"

jasonmcneil0 · 10-19-2003, 06:15 PM

dunno what happened b4, i just copied and pasted what u put

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 772 1861 8755425 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 * 511 771 2096482+ 42 SFS
/dev/hda3 1 76 610438+ 82 Linux swap

i believe this is what u want tho

although, i don't think my other hard drive is listed there, it is 60gig.

megaspaz · 10-19-2003, 06:17 PM

oh... it's just a tad messy. anyway, did you install the ntfs support kernel module? because i think i'm supposed to see some "ntfs" strings in the systems.

jasonmcneil0 · 10-19-2003, 06:31 PM

yas sorry, forgot to paste the whole thing

shows my data drive now!

megaspaz · 10-19-2003, 06:35 PM

i'm only guessing here but does it look like your C:\ drive is /dev/hdb1 at about 60 GB? basically how big is your C:\drive and H:\ drive?

jasonmcneil0 · 10-19-2003, 06:37 PM

the main one is a 15 gig drive, that's the one where linux is on. the other data is a 60 gig.

the 60 gig is the one with all my stuff on it that i need.
