Re: Writing to ntfs partitions?

2006-04-29 Thread Kyryll A Mirnenko aka Mirya 
try using sysutils/ntfsprogs (as standalone utils set or via 
sysutils/fusefs-(kmod|libs) if you have 6.0+). ntfs kernel module really 
doesn't write anything, ntfsprogs also has limitations (man for details) but 
they're better than nothing

 I am trying to help a friend recover her Wind0ws harddisk. I have a backup of

 mount_ntfs mentions write support for ntfs partitions with some limitations, 
 but I can't seem to write anything to any of the ntfs partitions :(

 I must be doing something wrong. Can anyone shed some light on this?

Can't myself shed any light, and I see that others are answering your
question with ntfs info.

However, if all else fails, and depending on the size of the partitions
in question, you might be able to format one of them as fat32, copy the
files over, then boot into Windows and use the convert command to ntfs.

C:\Documents and Settings\User1convert /?
Converts FAT volumes to NTFS.

CONVERT volume /FS:NTFS [/V]

  volume  Specifies the drive letter (followed by a colon),
  mount point, or volume name.
  /FS:NTFSSpecifies that the volume to be converted to NTFS.
  /V  Specifies that Convert should be run in verbose mode.
