So yeah, i have both Win2k and Redhat 9.0 installed on one hard drive using multiple partitions... So now I want to be able to browse my Win2k partition (ntfs) in linux, but I don't know how to mount it.

Can anyone provide some help?

THanks

Redhat does not support the NTFS file system. You will have to download a driver for that.

Try this site to d/l the driver. It also has very detailed instructions:

Thanks alot, I have the same problem

Not quite true about redhat supportuing ntfs. The Kernel that is installed with red hat 2.4.20 doe not have ntfs support built in. What you need to do is build your own kernel. This is actually easier than you think! The config file is stored in /boot This should be copied to .config in the kernel source directry (/usr/src/linux-2.4.20). You then run the make xconfig. One of the option is for file systems. You can choose ntfs support in there.

There are lots of info elsewher on how to compile a new kernel.

WORD OF CAUTION. NTFS support is still under development. Use only read only adn not the write support. You have been warned!

Do any Linux releases support read and write access to NTFS?

SuSE I think. NTFS write support is still experimental, so I don't recommend using it. Downloading the driver is actually alot easer than recompiling your kernel. It takes 2 minuties to download, and 30 seconds to re-install, then reboot. And walla!!!! NTFS Read support.

But if you want NTFS write support, you will have to recompile your kernel. But WARNING! NTFS write may damage your NTFS file system.

-Good Luck!

Cool. I didn't even know it was possible to read NTFS until reading this today. ....and thinking about it, read should do fine, just cp the file to a Linux filesystem and vi it or whatever with no problem.
yea ... i actually like vi!
