Other Help Topics :: Linux And NTFS

I discovered DSL a few days ago and I think its really great, so much things in 50meg...

I put it on my usb pendrive and it works nice, but i wonder how I can access to my HDDs that are in NTFS format. I can mount them and read the files with no problem, but I cant create/delete directorys or files. It says "Read only filesystem". It works fine with a fat partition.

It may seems like a newbie question, but... that what I am!

Thanks

P.S. excuse my english if it is bad, my first language is french. (yes im a canadian frog)

linux ntfs support is still work in progress. the reason it's read only is XP does not like things playing with its file structure, most of the time if you try to write to ntfs it will screw windows up. A fat system is the reccomended way to share things with windows.

Thanks for the info kerry, so there's no way I could write to ntfs from linux? Maybe a way to "unlock" my partition from windows...

Thanks again

Use Knoppix 5.0.1. It has NTFS write support.
