Re: accessing my windows hard drive

Christopher,

Are you sure about this?

I have NTFS partitions on shared drives and I have to use mount /dev/hda1 -t ntfs /mnt/windows. If the
paritions are from Windows 95/98/ME then I can see using vfat, msdos as the modifier and having it
work.


Win2K,XP,NT requires the loading of the NTFS driver for RedHat 9.0 (which RedHat never provided and SuSE
and Mandrake do). I have not loaded the NTFS drivers with FC1 yet. The ones I have strongly suggest
that you do not write to the NTFS partitions with them as that code is not stable.

hello,

you can mount the windows filesystem

as root:
# mkdir /mnt/windows/
# mount -t msdos /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows/

as long as /dev/hda1 is your windows partition of course
you can also put this in /etc/fstab later
