Add a line like this to your fstab /dev/hda6 /mnt/e ntfs ro,noauto,user,umask=022 0 0 Make sure that it is ro! Writing to a ntfs partation is a good way to check your backup procedures for windows. I haven't tried to read an encrypted ntfs partation it will probably fail. It doesn't seem to have any problems with the file by file compression that y0u can do in Win2k. As root modify you fstab. As root create a directory /mnt/e (or whatever you choose to call it) issue a mount command just like you would for a fat32 or other non-auto mounted partition. In my install the module is load by the OS I didn't change anything else. I am surprised that the installer didn't do this for you it did for me. pben On Sunday 29 June 2003 05:03 pm, Michael Satterwhite wrote:

Actually, it may have. I'm not sure which module it is so that I could check for it. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2-rc1-SuSE (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE+/3aFjeziQOokQnARAn+dAKCPu2D8osODd51PgCPwz4SvHqJQpQCdFR3m yBuWSwOJpQE4cZ/wDQpA09I= =YajI -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
Hello do an "lsmod | grep ntfs" (without the quotation marks) to find out that the ntfs module is loaded or not. Zsolt Michael Satterwhite wrote:

What do I need to do to mount an NTFS partition?
If you only want to read data from an NTFS partition, you only need read support (otherwise Linux couldn't read your CD). I urge you to keep it that way as enabling write support is a rather sure way to hose your NTFS partition.
I'm not sure which module to load or what to do after that point.
You don't need to load a module directly. Just create an entry for the NTFS partition in /etc/fstab, setting fs type to ntfs. Then the necessary modules get loaded automatically. Philipp
