What is the command line for above actions. The kernel ntfs driver does not support write operation even with the rw option. Install the ntfs-3g (or equivalent name for your distro) package and mount it so: mount -o force -t ntfs-3g /dev/path /mnt/some_mnt_pt >I dont want to reformat it again. >It is working well in windows boxes. If you are already using ntfs-3g and still experiencing problems then the disk should be removed with proper shutdown of the USB device.
