I recently made the plunge and threw microsoft vista out the door. I installed Fedora 9 on my system and so far everything is running great. My only problem however is that I have a second hard drive (200gb). I have alot of music and pictures etc on this drive that I definately want to keep. When I start up Fedora I can see the 200gb HD under "places" howerver when i click on it nothing happens or it tells me i do not have permission to open it. SO my question is this. Is it possible to retrieve the information on this HD and then make it accesible by fedora? Or would I have to format this drive which I really realy do not want to do.

Hopefully you didn't encrypt the drive.

See here first.

Something like this maybe. sda1 or your drive

sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda1 /media/sda1 -o force


See also ntfs-3g info.

"Best Practices", Event viewer, host file, perfmon, are in my top 10
