Re: mount NTFS WinXP Partition



heya,

you can certainly mount it.  you need support for it in your kernel,
but if you're using the default kernel you already have it.  

also, i'd _strongly_ encourage you to mount it in read-only mode.
afaik the linux kernel's support of ntfs in write mode is pretty
sketchy at best.

was it just mount /dev/hda1 or mount /dev/hda1 /some/path?  did you
get any error messages?  on my box i don't have to pass any special
options, but maybe you have to specify the file system on the command
line for some reason (mount -t)?
