:::: Loading NTFS drives in RHEL4 ::::
--------------------------------------------------------
1. Copy kernel-module-ntfs-2.6.9-5.ELsmp-2.1.
20-0.rr.4.10.i686.rpm to /root/Desktop
(or any where in this case)

2. Open Terminal Window (right click desktop
- first option)

3. type following command (# is prompt so do
not type #)
# rpm -ivh /root/Desktop/kernel-module-ntfs
-2.6.9-5.ELsmp-2.1.20-0.rr.4.10.i686.rpm

# modprobe ntfs

Note : Now you can mount any NTFS partition connected
to your RHEL4 system
Note : NTFS partition do not have write facility

Write facility can be provided but it is a lengthy process
and not very useful in our case

use following command to find NTFS Partition on Hard
Drive
# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/hdb: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdb1 * 1 3888 31230328+ 7 HPFS/NTFS

Note : in above eg. /dev/hdb1 is NTFS Partition
(try and identify your NTFS partitions
accordingly)
Make a directory to mount this NTFS partition

# mkdir /mnt/win_c_drive

# mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/win_c_drive

# cd /mnt/win_c_drive (use ls to see the file and folder
list)

# open your file browser and browse to /mnt/win_c_drive
to see in directory listing in GUI

:::: Un-mount partition ::::
--------------------------------------------------------
# cd /

# umount /mnt/win_c_drive
