Transfering Data from NTFS

citizenx · 07-01-2005, 08:05 PM

Im new to linux, I just installed redhat 9 on a single drive which is being shared with a NTFS partition. Windows is not installed on that partion, there are only files.

How can I transfer those files through linux? Is there a way that I can access that partion?

Thanks

if you have ntfs support in the kernel, you can mount the partition somewhere and copy the files, e.g.:

# mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/ntfs

then copy the files to the destination.

if RH9 doesn't have default ntfs support (don't remember if it does or not), you'll have to build it into the kernel, or else boot a recent knoppix CD and do it that way.
