Santorres · 06-28-2003, 02:16 AM

Is there a way to see at my ( NTFS ) files in Red hat 8?

I have read a bit on that, but i have found nothing really ease. meant, i read an article on how to do it but for Red Hat 9 (2.4.20-13.9). I would like to know how can i do it on Distro 8 of RH. (2.4.20-18.8)..

I'M REALLY A NEWBIE. PLEASE HELP ME AS SOON AS POSSIBLE !!!

Try "modprobe ntfs" if it doesn't work then just recompile the kernel with NTFS read-only support enabled in the filesystem section.
If it does work you can mount the NTFS drive with:
mount -t ntfs /dev/hde2 /mnt/ntfsdrive
Replace the device name and mount point with that of your drive.

no. Writing to an NTFS partition is very dangerous and would most likely trash your partition.
