another mounting NTFS thread


im sure this has been asked before, but i need some clarification. i have FC3 and this is the current kernal version: 2.6.10 - 1.741_FC3. when i run:
"mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /home/win "
i get this error,
"mount: fs type ntfs not supported by kernal"

this kernal is the latest update i recieved and was lead to believe that it came with NTFS support, but maybe not. any help is much appreciated. btw, here is a copy of my fstab:
# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details
LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
LABEL=SWAP-hdc2 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hdd /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,ro,exec,noauto,managed 0 0

I don't know if Fedora ships with the /proc/config.gz option switched on, but try this:

Code:
zcat /proc/config.gz | grep NTFS
and post the results here, please.

Hrrm, I guess that's not enabled. try the following:
Code:
$ find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -name '*ntfs*'
If it finds an ntfs module, try to load it.

im not sure how to load modules. i tried various commands like modprobe and lsmod, but i do not have those commands installed. i then went to add the modules package, but once i tried to install them i got several required package errors. after trying to get all of the required packages i got stuck at a prompt that told me there was a file conflict so one of them could not be installed. anyways, what is the proper way to load a module?
