    Can't read second NTFS drive



    I have a personal server with 2 hard drives. 1st contains the primary Win2K(NTFS) and Mandrake 9.1 partitions. The second hard drive is a 180GB NTFS with a single partition. I have no problems viewing the Windows contents of the first drive under /mnt/win_c

    I've tried remounting the second hard drive using MCC as /z with no luck. It's reading the drive as a "Windows Dynamic Partition" under Mandrake 9.1. It's also reading /z as 6.8GB but displays no contents.

    This is my first linux installation and I'm not very well versed in linux shell commands. After performing a search within this forum, I read someone stating that Mandrake 9.0 will yield an error while trying to mount a second dynamic drive.

    Any ideas?

    thx in adv.

    What's MCC?
    Anyway, are you sure that the mdk stock kernels are equipped with dynamic disk support? DD is still experimental in Linux.

    sorry. Mandrake control center (mcc).

    I'm not sure if it's equipped with dynamic disk support.
    how do I go about equipping the kernel with DD support?

    i'm very new to the linux os.

    The only way to my knowledge is to recompile the kernel.

    Indeed. There is a Kernel-HOWTO on tldp.org.
