I installed captive-ntfs to write/delete files in NTFS filesystem. Actually when I mount manually using command 'mount -t captive-ntfs /dev/hda1 /windows/C', it works as expected. But I don't want to manually type those commands everytime I reboot my laptop, so I add the following settings in my /etc/fstab file :
Ok, now I'm confused. I need more than just the latest fuse and ntfs-3g software? What I'd like to do is simular, I've fired MS XP and have a usb harddrive in ntfs format that travels. I'd like it to mount with full read/write capabilities when I plug it into my laptop.
I have installed the ntfsprogs-fuse-1.13.1-3 RPM package and everything works fine (except that I haven't used the windows partition for over 4 months, as it's useless).

Yes, I have installed Ntfs-3g successfully, but when I tried to mount I encountered warning about the Linux Kernel version not conforming to Ntfs-3g's need. But everything else works perfectly. Should I update the Linux Kernel ?
