Thanks Nicolas. Is that as well as what I already have installed, or instead of?

Somehow I managed to install ntfs-3g, instead of fuse-ntfs-3g: Installed Packages Name : ntfs-3g Arch : i386 Epoch : 2 Version: 2011.4.12 Release: 3.el5 Size : 623 k Repo : installed Summary: Linux NTFS userspace driver URL: http://www.ntfs-3g.org/ And it works OK now thanks! I have managed to mount the NTFS HDD partition, and also copied some large files to it OK. So that's really handy thing to be able to do.
