Kernel support for NTFS in read/write mode is not yet complete, and is
considered to be experimental. I would advise against doing that. However,
mounting an NTFS partition in read-only mode is safe, and can be done with
the following command:
$ mount -t ntfs -o ro /dev/hda1 /mnt/ntfs
Replace "/dev/hda1" with your NTFS partitin location and "/mnt/ntfs" with
your chosen mount point. The "ro" denotes a read-only mount.
You can mount your drive at startup via your /etc/fstab file.
The Mandrake installer (Drakx) only recognises NTFS versions 4 (as used in
NT4) or below. Versions 5 (as used in Win2K) and up are not supported by
Drakx, but may be mounted after the installation.
