Firewire/USB external 400 GB drive under Fedora

[Ernest L. Williams Jr.]

Hi,

When I opened the box for my external USB/Firewire disk drive, I
discovered NTFS.  (Ah fooey)  My kernel does not support NTFS.

Can I just reformat the external storage device directly under Fedora?


Here is the error I get when trying to mount the file system:
=================================================================
mount /media/New_Volume/
mount: fs type ntfs not supported by kernel
=================================================================


Thanks,
Ernest
