Henry's Points

The mount is actually simple.

mount -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=000 /dev/hda2 /mnt/nt
mount -t vftp -o iocharsets=utf8,umask=000 /dev/hda3 /mnt/fat32

However, if you failed to mount the disk, this is probably because you don’t have correct module/kernel support. To install support driver. You need access http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net or, use yum.

You also can add “Livna” to you yum repository if you don’t have yet. The following is for Fedora 7.

rpm -ivh http://rpm.livna.org/livna-release-7.rpm
