Re: [Nolug] Finding a new hard drive in Redhat9

first off, make sure you actually have ntfs support. type
'cat /proc/filesystems' to see what fs's your kernel supports...look for
ntfs. if not, type 'insmod ntfs' and look at /proc/filesystems again.
if it's still not there, the kernel modules you got from sourceforge
aren't install properly. type 'uname -a' and post that info here.

if you have ntfs support: i'm assuming you have IDE drives, and if it's
the second drive, it's probably hdb. If you didn't use it for anything
else, it's probably all in the first partition, so it's device is
/dev/hdb1. try

mkdir /mp3
mount -t ntfs -o ro /dev/hdb1 /mp3

If that works, you can add the fs to /etc/fstab to have it mounted at boot
time.
