I can't see the NTFS driver

[Salah84]

Hi all,
I have two hard disk , one for Linux ext4 , and the other one is NTFS and it contain important information, i install the Oracle Enterprise Linux 5.4 as you it is redhat and when setup i make the choice

Remove Linux partitions on selected drives and create default layout

and I choose only the ext4 driver and keep the NTFS unchecked.

when i finish the setup i can't see the NTFS driver and i try to enter system>disk management but a message appear that there are no file-systems to mount or unmount
so what the solution to mount the NTFS driver??

Regards

To mount ntfs file systems from linux, you need the ntfs-3g file system driver and tools. See if you have the executable ntfs-3g. It should be in /usr/bin. Then you should find that mount.ntfs and/or mount.ntfs-3g in /sbin are links to /usr/bin/ntfs-3g. If this is not the case, and you don't find /usr/bin/ntfs-3g, then you need to install it with the YUM package manager. As root, execute the command: yum install fuse-ntfs-3g
Once that is done, you should be able to mount the ntfs partitions with the command "mount -t ntfs /dev/sdax mount-point" where sdax is the partition to mount and mount-point is an empty directory to mount the partition.

Hm, something strange in your fdisk output. Your sda partitions are named sad1 sad2 etcetera. It should be sda1 sda2 etcetera
In your linux drive the naming is correct however.
