Wait, I'm confused. It killed your linux partition? If you are trying to mount ntfs with redhat, it won't work. They leave out the module by default. Take a look at this: http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/info/redhat.html
Mandrake (by default) will install the ntfs (read-only of course) module if you have an ntfs partition on your machine already. I'm not sayin run and go use Mandrake but it is a nice distro. I cut my teeth on SuSE and then went to Mandrake. -Glen On Mon, 2003-02-10 at 23:49, Karl David Mortensen wrote: > Hi. My name is Karl Mortensen.
