Assuming you are using NTFS with XP - you need to create a mount point in Red HAT's /mnt directory

Open a terminal

su
root password

mkdir /mnt/windows

then

kedit /etc/fstab

Put an entry at the bottom of your /etc/fstab file on a new line - (just substitute in your Partition, Mount point and User ID Number ( uid ) in place of my example ones)

/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs auto,ro,umask=222,uid=501 0 0

You can get your User ID Number by opening a terminal and typing:

id username – (substitute username with whatever your username is)

Look for the

uid=xxx

This is your user id number.

( Red Hat currently doesn’t include a NTFS driver because of uncertainties surrounding the legal status of the driver)

So - to READ a NTFS partition from Red Hat, you can either:

• Download and install an RPM – or
  
• Compile your kernel

Your best just getting the relevant RPM - Check out this site for an RPM

(Never try and write to NTFS currently - there's a fair chance you'll corrupt the filesystem)
