| Change the settings in your /etc/fstab file to be able to read. I am not sure if writing to NTFS is a good idea . . . it may cause damage to the filesystem. | |

| It will depend on if you have support in your kernel for that operation.Im not completely sure if the current driver supports writing though.
Insert module insmod ntfs
mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/winloser
that would mount the first partition of device a in directory /winloser
The module can be easily obtained.
http://rpmfind.net has source and rpms.
When you start playing around (especially with making modules) BACK UP YOUR DATA! | |
