How to view NTFS partition in redhat ?

[zsycho]

After successful linux installation ( dual booted with Win 7 ), I am once again stuck around at some other issue.

All my windows partitions are NTFS.I can see them in linux, but when I tried to open it, it prompted with alert that " cannot mount this partition " . .. etc.


Now after reading some articles, I came to know that redhat does not supports NTFS by default.
there are many solutions on the net such as recompiling the kernal , using yum . . .and many more


But I want to know some standard procedure.

Can someone provide me with one ? What needs to be done here to access my NTFS drives with R/W access.

Thanks in advance

You need to install the ntfs-3g user-space (fuse) driver. That can be found in the epel repository. Attached is the epel.repo file that you can copy to your /etc/yum.repos.d directory so you can get this driver. It is compressed with gzip, so you will need to decompress it with gunzip after you download it.
