Until you install the ntfs module to support an ntfs partition it can't do that, and the module is not in the fedora distribution. It is available from livna or directly from sourceforge. If my guess above is correct, then simply install without the /windows partition and after the boot install the ntfs module. After that you should be able to mount the ntfs partition. > > I've never had quite this problem with my installs, so I'm sort of > > guessing.
