recognize NTFS partition in Linux?

DMAN · 07-26-2002, 08:55 PM

???
How can I get Linux to see my NTFS partition (WindowsXP Pro). When I was using 8.1 it saw my FAT32 partition (when I had XP on a FAT32) with no oproblems. Now I'm using 8.2 and I just want a way to be able to see and access my pictures and MP3's from Linux.
Thanks

;D
Got it working...
mkdir did it for me then I mounted the file
only thing is I cant access it from my user account...I have to log in as root. Tried to set permissions from root but it wouldn't let me. Any suggestions?
Thanks

take a look at the second post here:

one note
this line:
dev/hda1 /mnt/win vfat auto,owner,users,gid=501,umask=007 1 2

should read
dev/hda1 /mnt/win vfat auto,owner,users,gid=501,umask=007 0 0

with 2 0's at the end, not 1 and 2

Actually that isn't right either. I should go back and fix the mistake I made in that old thread.

This is all the would be needed when using the "auto" option and to have the umask setting in that line work correctly.

dev/hda1 /mnt/win vfat auto,gid=501,umask=007 0 0
