    Which Linux distro and version do you have?
    Execute this
    Code:
    cat /etc/*release
cat /etc/*version
    Post output here.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    Install rpmforge repository ( direct link ) and install NTFS support through yum.
    Code:
    yum install fuse fuse-ntfs-3g dkms dkms-fuse
    You will have read/write access in NTFS partitions.
    Code:
    mkdir /mnt/hda2
mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2 -o defaults,umask=0
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

    You have to install kernel-devel package first.
    Aren't you using licensed copy of RHEL5? If you want to use free version then go for CentOS. Its a clone of RHEL and free to download/install.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
