Im not exactly sure, but I think Microsoft has been pretty good at
keeping the Free/Open source guys from reverse engineering the NTFS
system, as such RH doesnt support reading or writing to NTFS drives.
However there are patches to enable NTFS, but I havent used them. I do
know Mandrake 9.1 supports reading from NTFS. Please google for some
solutions, and let us know how your progress is going!

ps. It is considered good etiquette to disable html email when
