I run a dual boot redhat 8.0 and windows xp and I was wondering how I can access my windows partition(ntfs) from redhat and if it was possible to create some kind of shortcut to my windows partition. Any help would be appreciated if you have aim my name is toasttor. Thanks
You have to recompile the kernel to enable ntfs capability. Enable ntfs in kernel filesystem. Write mode is not recomended, so better choose only-read.
I am agree with you, but if you recompile the kernel, you can take care of select others filesystems (VFAT,etc) as module, so you can load if you need. RedHat don't support many filesystem when you install it.Don't be afraid to recompile the kernel. It is easy
It depends on what you select when install Red Hat (server, work station laptop). In my particular case, it was disable (laptop). But if he doesn't want to recompile kernel,of course he can skip. I am newbie in the forum, but I know Linux. I also like to have a custom kernel which those things I need or maybe I will need. I have recompile different Kernels more then 25 times. It is so easy that my grandmother can do . But it have no sense to discuss our preferences, so for me this subjet is die.
