True, but you DO want to read FROM the ntfs partition - after all, this is what you used to do - but now for some reason it doesn't work. You probably upgraded from FAT32 since last trying it (? probably).
I agree with Nick. Add nfts support to your kernel. You get the options to compile with readonly support or write (still in development?) support. I have a short write up (full proof (fool proof?) for linux redhat 7.2 anyway) which does this - if you want the instructions. Let me know - it took less than an hour to do slowly and carefully.... It may be enough for you to look into redhat 9's similar instructions which are probably similar. Good luck.

Thanks for the advice tho :) --Slosh On Thu, 2003-09-25 at 21:12, Nick Rout wrote: > add ntfs to your kernel. > > but it is flaky for write support, it is likely to trash your ntfs > partition if you write to it. > > > you have been warned! > > On Thu, 25 Sep 2003 20:26:03+1200 Joshua > Collins<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > Assume I have Microsoft Windows XP using NTFS on one partition and > > RedHat 9.0 (2.4.20-20.9) on the other, how do I access the Windows > > partition? > > > > I used to simply run mount but now when I do I get: > > $ su -c "mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows/" > > mount: fs type ntfs not supported by kernel > > -- > > Joshua Collins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > > > > -- Joshua Collins <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
