There are many ways to mount ntfs drive under linux Some that i know are 1. Compile the kernel 2. captive-ntfs(easy way read/write) 3. ntfsmount
1. Compile the kernel a. from : http://www.kernel.org/ download the latest stable kernel(F-> Full) b. uncompress it in your /usr/src directory as super user c. from terminal go to the uncompressed directory d. in terminal type the following commands i. make xconfig or make menuconfig a. Any of this command will open a selection window where you can make different kernel releated selections . b. Some known to me are under drives select ntfs, and ntfs-write and pentium-4/3 under filesystem c. save all the changes and close the form ii. make a. this will compile the kernel and takes a good amount of time iii. make modules_install iv. make install a. this will install the compiled kernel v. make htmldocs /pdfdocs a. issue this as option, to change some files for documentation as pdf or html files vi. make mrproper a. does the necessary cleaning i.e uninstall config & obj files e. Restart and boot in the new kernel f. as su type at terminal : mkdir /mnt/c g. : mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/c h. now you will be able to see your ntfs drive under windows i. here /dev/hda1 was for my first hard disk first partition where windows is installed modify as your need. Use /sbin/fdisk -l j. to make this drive always booted type gedit /etc/fstab at fstab add /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs ro,defaults,umask=0222 0 0 k. enjoy............. happy ntfs 2. captive-ntfs(easy way read/write) a. from http://www.jankratochvil.net/project/captive/ download captive-static rmp/tarball at home directory b. 1. rpm a.as su at terminal type rpm -i captive* b.if not installed try rpm -i --force --nodeps captive* 2. tarball a. uncompress, from terminal go to uncompressed directory b. issue following commands one after another ./configure make make install make clean c. at terminal issue following commands as superuser mkdir /mnt/c mount -t captive-ntfs -o rw /dev/hda1 /mnt/c d. this will enable read/write option to ntfs but to enable at startup you will need fuse go to link at ntfsmount for help d. enjoy............ 3. ntfsmount a. go to http://wiki.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php?id=ntfsmount b. enjoy......... --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "FOSS Nepal" group.
