guys,i installed FC 5 of linux on my 1st partition(formated and isntalled).my 2nd partition was left intact(filesystem is NTFS)....but now in linux im not able to access the 2nd partition.wen i saw in the LVM,it says i can initialize the 2nd partition but that will result in loss of all data in it.plz help guys.i need to be able to access the 2nd partition(all my musik,vids ) is ther.:huh:
 
I think the ntfs driver should already be present in FC5.

Try the second part mentioned by ferrar!

If it is not there, then do the first part.
 
Fedora Core 5 does NOT come with NTFS support. SUSE/openSUSE does.
@OP, better add livna repository and do a yum install kmod-ntfs
 
with wat shud i open the rpm file??

also wat dyu mean by finding the partition??wer??plz tell indepth guys.im totally nub in this.
 
RPM files are installable files for linux.

You can install rpm either by double clicking it and following directions or goto terminal and type

rpm -ivh [RPM Name] {--aid}

aid is optional , it will check for dependencies and automatically install the same.

Make sure you are logged in as root

To find partitions locate Hardware Browser in System Tools , select hard drive and u can see partitions that you have in system
 
ok.heres wat happens.

im running FC 5 with KDE environment.

i go to Desktop>System>Storage Media>Local Disk

when i double click on local disk it says access is restricted.so how do i mount it?:?
 
As above posts mentions , FC 5 does not come with NTFS drivers. So without that you can not mount the partition.

As ferrari said ,get kmod-ntfs and install it , after that mount driver as said.
 
installed the driver,not able to mount though :(

can finish this step

mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 /mnt/ntfs

after this the

cd/mnt/ntfs

it says no such file or directory.
 
that is cd /mnt/ntfs

i.e. there is a space between "cd" and "/mnt/ntfs"

If the mount happens, clearly /mnt/ntfs exists.
