To mount your 300G drive, just
Code:
mount /dev/sda1 <mountpoint> You will need to be root to a drive, and similarly, you might want to create a new directory for this drive's mountpoint, eg, maybe something like /mnt/seagate |

what do you need to know to help me walk through this i can't seem to figure out this console |
i keep getting this error when i try to mount
# mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/300gb mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs' |
To create a new directory, just the mkdir command
Code:
mkdir /abc/def If your system does not recognize NTFS then you probably need to add the kernel module for it. I don't use Fedora, but from what I can gather the following command will do it. Note: you need to research this yourself. Don't run commands unless you understand what they do. Code:
yum install kmod-ntfs |
