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
 
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.
