HOW to mount NTFS file system into your fedora core

hello every body
this is how to mount ntfs file system into your linux(fedora core 6 in this case)
firist you must be sure that your kernel supports the ntfs reading before mounting
if not you must install the following programs from yum goto the shell (terminal )
and write
yum install fuse fuse-libs ntfs-3g ntfsprogs ntfsprogs-gnomevfs
after installing those packages you can now mount the ntfs goto the / folder and creat 2 empty files firist /C
and the second /D (i asume that you have two drives)
and then you must check that what is the name of your drives
run this comannt from your terminal
/sbin/fdisk -lu /dev/hda |grep NTFS
the result in this case will be like this
/dev/hda1 * 63 20482874 10241406 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda5 20482938 133757189 56637126 7 HPFS/NTFS
now we now that we have to mount the drive /dev/hda1 (C) and the drive /dev/hda5 (D)
we now can mount the drives to mount write this commant on the terminal
mount /dev/hda1 /C -t ntfs-3g -rw -o umask=0000
mount /dev/hda5 /D -t ntfs-3g -rw -o umask=0000
of course you will change the name of the drives according to your drives names
note that if you done all of this you will have fun with you drives till you close your computer after you log again on, you will find that your drives are not mounted so you must add 2 statements at the end of of the file called fstab to do so write this command
gedit /etc/fstab
it will open a text editor then you must add those lines to fstab now i write those lines because of the example
/dev/hda1 /C ntfs-3g rw,defaults,umask=0000 0 0
/dev/hda5 /D ntfs-3g rw,defaults,umask=0000 0 0
you must do it as your drives numbers and your mounting points
i hope that you understand and this post is good for you
