You may want to add ntfs filesystem suport to your kernel (this should get captive-ntfs) running. You can do this by Code: su [rootpass] cd /usr/src/linux make menuconfig and then going to the section about filesystems, and then selecting the ntfs filesystem. Then Code: make && make modules_install cp -f arch/i386/boot/bzImage /boot/kernel-(version) cp -f System.map /boot/System.map-(version) cp -f .config /boot/config-(version) and then add it to your /boot/grub/grub.conf or your /etc/lilo.conf (whichever you use) and then reboot the computer. __________________ Registered Linux User #371543!

Normally you can import the needed system files from your windows install. CaptiveNTFS should ask you for that the first time you start it up.
