[Getting Files] -

Posted by: ADZ

Hi, Just a FYI. I am writing this on Linux Fedora Core 1. and it KICKS ***

ok, so i need to copy my MP3s from my NTFS partition to my Linux OS. WHERE do i go to view the file? I have been mad searching and i cant even find like a 'My Computer' that displays all my drives and such.

Any idea?

~ Screenshots coming soon!

NTFS Support is growing rapidly but i think alot of it is READ ONLY. If you have partition magic or some other program, your best bet would be to convert to fat32 and run this command in your terminal.
su (enter your password)
gedit /etc/fstab (opens text editor)
add this line to the file
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat auto,umask=0 0 0
save it . run this command
mkdir /mnt/windows
and reboot, you should now be able to read and write to your windows partition :)

I remember reading something about SAMBA, from lostman I believe. Just for the info, what is samba, and does it work for linux on NTFS?
