Re: mounting a hard disk to linux
2 daft questions ... 1) whats a post like this doing in the tomcat forum ? 2) why WHY WHY would you format a disk to be used by linux as a windows format ? Try ext2 / ext3 / any of the other native formats ! They are alot better ! NTFS is an 'experimental' filing system under linux ATM IIRC good luck !

RE: mounting a hard disk to linux
If possible, you can format it as FAT32 then mount it as VFAT.
