Hello linuxer, My system right now is dual booting, winXP and suse8.0. The winXP use NTFS partition. How can I set suse8.0, so it can read the ntfs partition from windows. I've tried to mounting the ntfs partition, but failed. I've heard that another new released distro - like mandrake 9.0 - could read ntfs partition. Please, give me step by step information, because I'm still newbie on linux Thanks a lot. Hangga

Try the following command:
mount -t ntfs <ntfs-partition> <where to mount the ntfs-partition>
For example:
mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt
This command will mount the ntfs-Partition located on the first
partition of the first harddisk in to the directory /mnt on your
linuxsystem.
If you want to mount the partition automatickly during the systemstart
of linux, take a look in to the file
/etc/fstab
and add a new entry for your ntfs-partition.
Hope that helps ;-).
Best regards,

Thank you so much........ It works, but only on shell environtment. How can I create shortcut on the desktop, so I can browse this partition (with konqueror) just like when I browse with fat32win98, and copy some files from windows directory to my linux directory. I've looked at /etc/fstab: /dev/hda1, /windows/C, ntfs, ro,noauto,user,unmask=022 0 0 How should I do? What new entry should I write?

Hummm, that should work, if you've mounted the partition manualy... Where are the partitions mounted, that you can browse with the graphical enviroment?
I've looked at /etc/fstab: /dev/hda1, /windows/C, ntfs, ro,noauto,user,unmask=022 0 0
This entry will not work, becou the commas ",". Rplace the the ',' with
tabstops and change the numbers on the end of the entry. It should look
like this:
/dev/hda1 /windows/C ntfs ro,noauto,user,unmask=022 1 2
^^^^^^^ ^^^^^ ^^^^
THIS ARE TABSTOPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
With this setting your ntfs-partition should be monted automaticly
during evry systemstart. I dont't know if its browseable with konquirror
etc., I don't use the KDE, GNOME or enviorments like this, but if it
works with other windowspartitions look at these entries in the fstab
and create a simmilar for your ntfs-partition.
Hope that helps!

Hai Christian, I've edit fstab with vi editor, restart computer, but it still cannot work. I cannot browse with konqueror, because mnt directory is locked (with locked icon). So I decided to relogin as root user, then I can browse & that ntfs partion. I can copy all the directory to my linux home directory. What should I do to disable the lock on mnt directory, so user "Me" can browse that partition. So I dont have to login as root user, to copy my windows file. Thanks.

OK, change the entry above to:
/dev/hda1 /windows/C ntfs ro,,user,gid=100 1 2
That should work even for normal users.
