mounting HD

[Ed_Hunter]

how do i mount ma windows HD to linux fedora core 4, so that i can see it in the computer area, any help would be gr8 ty, also its in NTFS so will that mean adding something to the kernel????

[Ed_Hunter]

read a earlier post talking about a kernel module for NTFS support so i dloaded and installed, no all i need is help with making the windows HD visible for me to see on linux

1. Make a mountpoint somewhere (as root)
mkdir /media/win
2. mount the drive (as root)
mount -t ntfs /dev/your_ntfs_partition /media/win

end

or if you want to automate this, add the line to /etc/fstab (as root)

/dev/your_ntfs_partition /media/win ntfs noauto,users,exec 0 0

for more information: man fstab && man mount

mount /dev/hda1 /media/C_DRIVE/ -t ntfs -r -o umask=0222'

add this line to ur /etc/fstab as root
where /dev/hda1 is the hard disk u want to mount
/media/C_DRIVE/ is the location of lount dir in ur linux box

I'm using FC4 and when i try to specify that the type is ntfs it says "mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs'"...any ideas?


***Woops****
Sorry, I searched around the forums a bit and found the link http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net for ntfs support...works great :cool:

If you want to give global read&execute status try

/dev/your_ntfs_partition /media/win ntfs umask=0222,noauto,users,exec 0 0

to the command in /etc/fstab
