Problem with NTFS-3G in RHEL3


Hi,
I have XP and RHEL3 installed in my P.C. My XP got
crashed and i need to replace my boot.ini file with a new one.
I tried to mount my drive with fs type as ntfs. So i can't replace
that file. Then i downloaded ntfs-3g for RHEL 3 and when tried to
run the command ntfs-3g /dev/hdd1 /mnt/windows , i'm getting the below error message

modprobe: Can't locate module fuse
ntfs-3g-mount: fuse device is missing, try 'modprobe fuse' as root

Can any one tell me how to mount a windows drive with write permission
in RHEL3?

Hard to follow your question, but have you tried what the error message said to try ("modprobe fuse")????

red hat 3 dose not have ntfs support , as far as i know . it is also very old .the last update ( update 9 was in june 2007)

how did you install such a NEW program as "ntfs-3g" on RHEL3 ( rhel 3's lifespan was from 2003 to 2007)

if you can manage to rewrite rhel3 to use ntfs-3g then you know more than i do and can fix that all on your own .

Actually, RHEL 3 isn't quite dead yet: http://www.redhat.com/security/updates/errata/
OTOH, RHEL doesn't support NTFS drivers at all for legal reasons.
You may(!) be able to get ntfs-3g+fuse to work, but it won't be supported by RH.
