Hello. Does anyone know how to mount a windows 2000 ntfs partition in Linux? Understand that it's read only but want to learn nevertheless.

From another machine in SaMBa? or from same drive. This is a Red Hat side of it: You'll have to recompile the kernel to support ntfs partions and then I don't know. i always make a small fat32 part when I dual boot to allow for reading files from one to the other. As far I know Red Hat does not support or advise mounting a NTFS?NTFS5 partition onto Red Hat, but some others may be more friendl. Anyway ya got one post and others tend to read when there is more than 0. Good Luck.

Linux can read a ntfs partition and that ability is usually compiled into the kernel by default. in suse 7.0 I could only mount and read the contents when I was root, it would not let me change the permissions, although that was an older kernel. If u have win2k on a win98/win2k partition then u wont be able to read it cos win2k makes itself an extended partition and wont be visible to linux Damien

I run Mandrake8.1 (linux 2.4.8, I think) and am able to mount a local NTFS partition. I could do that while installing linux. However, it mounted read-only and had only root access. Changing the /etc/fstab to add user and umask options helped me see it (but still read-only) The line now reads: /dev/hda2 /win2k ntfs defaults,user,umask=000,rw 0 0 'Luck!

Hi Im using Suse Linux 7.3 Pro and have the same problems as Damien - ie. i can mount Windows when i am root only. I am only just starting to play around with Linux so i want to ask if it is possible to copy files from root to another user (i am only logged in as root at this time). any help would be appreciated thanks

Hell I cant even mount a FAT partition how do you do that?
