I decided to install Red Hat 9. but I still want Windows, so I install Red Hat together with Windows XP. the problem is, when I want to access drive C (NTFS) from linux, i cannot do it. but, I can access drive D (FAT32). Is there something wrong with my installation?
No, there is nothing wrong with your installation. You just need to install the NTFS driver into your kernel. The NTFS driver for linux is read only I believe.
Just follow the instructions and install it. It will work fine. But remember, take my advice and use it for read only. Otherwise you wind up corrupting your NTFS data.
If you are brave and eager to learn something new I recommond you to compile the linux kernel with NTFS support by your self and install it. I did it recently without a problem.
download a latest vversion of the kernel.
follow the instructions given in the readme file
Then compile it.
enjoy...
You have an other option...Use a LiveCD version such as Knoppix(https://www.knoppix.net) when you want to access the NTFS partiotions. It is safer adn easier.
U have to compile kernel with ntfs module enabled.
for kernel source check /usr/share/doc if ur using redhat..
u can check out Knoppix it's boots and run's from CD/DVD.. no need to recompile or install linux in ur system.. it has ntfs support 2.
