Okay, I finally got Kubuntu Linux and have it running dual-boot with my WinXP Home Edition. My orig. HD was a 40 gb NTFS. The Kubuntu partitioner could not scratch it so I had to improvise with a 4.1 gb HD. Kubuntu turned that to FAT32. Anyway. Each OS cannot detect/read each other. Didn't really care until yesterday. For by B-Day, I got a 40.1 gb external HD that is standard NTFS. Linux can read, but not write, rename, delete, etc. Is there a debian that enables NTFS support on Kubuntu Linux? -DasWebmastri ------------------ If practice makes perfect, and no one is perfect, then why practice? -Yours Truely |

http://www.linux-ntfs.org/ Has several tools for accessing NTFS partitions from Linux. Also, these 2 commands May enable you to access it for read/write. Ntfsmount is a WIP driver for NTFS access: First, you will need to install FUSE. To find out if your kernel supports fuse, run (as root) modprobe -l | grep fuse | wc -l If the output is 0 it doesn’t, an output of 1 means it does. If you use a Debian based distribution without FUSE kernel support, use module-assistant to compile it. Example: You will need to do the following (as root): apt-get install kernel-headers-`uname -r` fuse-source module-assistant Note: If you compile ntfsprogs from source, you will need the libfuse-dev package (before you run ./configure) or ntfsmount will not be built. You will need libfuse2 too for running it. HTH Lazarus |

quote: You mean NTFS write support. The Linux Kernel NTFS driver does not support writing to NTFS. You'll need a 3rd party kernel driver (and will have to compile the kernel yourself). It works better if you install Kubuntu on a ext3 partition and download the ext2 driver for windows (that way you can read and write to ext3 and ext2 drives from windows). ------------------ |
