Accessing NTFS volumes & USB Flash Memory from Linux !

[raedaljarrah]

Hi ...

I can't seem to find a way to access my NTFS volumes . I have a single Physical HDD with both XP & Red Hat Linux 9.0 .

I also need an easy way to access my USB flash memory . This is a very easy job under XP !

In general , is there a Windows-like explorer which would provide access to the Hard Disk , Floppy , CD-ROM and USB drives in a graphical manner ?

Thanks

konqueror is quite a good filesystem browser.

Hi ...I am new to linux so please keep with me .

Do you mean that I can access my USB flash memory using this file system browser the same as in XP ?

Where do I find this browser ?

Thanks

it is part of KDE if you have kde then type konqueror or select it from a menu

I have installed the complete package of Linux , all in all so I assume that I am having this utility installed .

Now , doe's it provide me full access to my XP-created files ( *.doc & *.pdf files ) ?

Strange.. according to your other post that you just made you havent actualy installed linux yet.. ? yes .doc and .pdf files can be read in linux.

I fact , after many failed attempts , I have finally managed to install Linux on my PC after trying different partitioning plans .

This is why I am posting this problem on the other channel !

I needed to know what are the installation requirements of Linux as regarder to the partition type .

So my question is as simple as follows :

Doe's Linux need a Primary or a Secondary Partition ( under XP terms ) ?

Thanks
