"Install NTFS Write Support" - need assistance

[maxihora]

I've just installed Fedora 7 and I'm a bit stuck. I've faced the truth that I'm not very good with computers - atleast not with Linux :P. But stubborn as I am, I had to install Fedora 7 on my 100% working - "nothing has ever gone wrong - working like a charm" Windows PC. Much similar to another thread here, http://www.linuxforums.org/forum/lin...indows-xp.html, I can't seem to find my Windows partitions on my hdd.. I've tried to follow every guide and advice that I've found, but nothing seems to help, I'm way too new and too much windows-minded to understand what everything means. So now I'm here, asking one of you to help me finding my Windows partitions on my hard drive in Fedora 7..

I've come this far:

Disk /dev/sda: 250.0 GB, 250059350016 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 30401 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 * 1 10443 83883366 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/sda2 10444 30401 160312635 f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda5 10444 11973 12289693+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda6 11974 30401 148022878+ 7 HPFS/NTFS

...but where do I go from here... How do I install the thing I need to install? I've looked everywhere, including here: NTFS - openSUSE, but I don't understand anything.. Please please please, help me

P.S I know how to access root, but that's probably the peek of my Linux-skill, so please be gentle and slow..

Hi and Welcome !

ntfs-3g is pre-installed in Fedora 7 and you dont have to install it again.
log in as root and execute this

mkdir /media/sda1
mkdir /media/sda6

open /etc/fstab file and add these two lines.

/dev/sda1  /media/sda1  ntfs-3g  defaults,umask=0  0  0
/dev/sda6  /media/sda6  ntfs-3g  defaults,umask=0  0  0

save file and reboot. check /media/sda1 and sda6 folders.
