Hello,
I have windows xp installed and I have just installed Fedora Core 2 on an ext3 partition
I have 2 NTFS partition,which I cannot access from linux but I can still boot win xp and access NTFS
how could I access my NTFS partitions from Fedora,please help.
this tells your system that hdb1,hdb5 should be mounted as ntfs partitions, under /mnt/win_C,mnt/win_D.
ro means read-only (under linux ntfs write is not supported)
utf8 means use unicode. (you may ommit that if you want)
umask=0222 means every file should have read-execute permitions.
then do:
mount -a
and access yr drives,with any browser you like. they should be under /mnt/win_C or D.
Every time you reboot the drives will be automatically mounted. (you won't need the mount command again)
if you don't want that then add the noauto option.
istalling the rpm will load the ntfs-support module. I'm pretty sure about that.
