mounting windows hard drive

ahh thank you. I will try that asap but I cant at the moment. I'll let you know what happens when I install it. Thanks

okkk ! in case you get any problem regarding mounting this NTFS partition, post the output of 'uname -a' too.

I think an easier way is enabling livna repo and installing kmod-ntfs

And how would I go about doing that? Whatever I do, I'd prefer to do it with yum if I can.

[Juan Pablo]

Yes, I'm talking about yum.

rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-5.rpm
yum install kmod-ntfs

Livna will also provide lots of useful package to install with yum.

sweet I love yum lol. I'll update this post in a few minutes after I try it..

UPDATE: Ok, I've done all that, now what do I do? I still get the "wrong fs type" error when I try to mount.

[Juan Pablo]

modprobe -l | grep ntfs

and search for the kernel module or just

modprobe ntfs

[prejudged_fire]

ok "modprobe -l | grep ntfs" gives me nothing (literally, theres no output or anything) and "modprobe ntfs" says "FATAL: Module ntfs not found"

Here is a nice faq about ntfs in Linux http://wiki.linux-ntfs.org/doku.php?...an_ntfs_volume

*sigh* yes I already know all of that. All thats telling me is most distros support ntfs out of the box with the exception of Fedora/Red Hat. It says for users with RH/FC, you need to download ntfsprogs or the NTFS Kernel. I HAVE downloaded ntfsprogs and its not working, thats why I'm here....
