    Not able to mount ntfs partition

    Hi,

    I am using RHEL 5 and Windows XP installed in the same HDD. When I try to mount any ntfs partition of that HDD while running RHEL 5 using the command
    mount -t ntfs /dev/hda(x) /mnt/win , I get a messg "Unknown file system ntfs".

    Also tried with [ mount -t cifs /dev/hda(x) /mnt/win which raised the same error message.

    Any suggestions for resolving this would be appreciated.

    Regards

    Hi

    Thanks for the suggestion. I am trying this way by installing the rpm. Also would like to know if there is any other way to get through this.

    There are probably other ways, but using ntfs-3g is the easiest.

    RHEL doesn't support NTFS. You have to install ntfs-3g package to enable read/write access.
    It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
