Re: [newbie] Win2000 Partition
Note that it is _not_ recommended to enable NTFS write access. I always used to use a small FAT partition as a transfer area between linux and NT. - Original Message - From: "Meph Istopheles" [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: "Newbie" [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, January 26, 2001 11:29 PM Subject: Re: [newbie] Win2000 Partition Hey, Has this been addressed yet? If not How can I set LM7.2 to see a Win2000 partition? This depends upon two things: 1. What format you'd chosen to install W2k on (ntfs or fat32) 2. Depending upon your answer to 1., how your kernel's compiled. If you'd installed W2k on ntfs, enter this in /etc/fstab: /dev/hda1 /winntfs user,exec,umask=0 0 0 If you'd installed on w32, enter this: /dev/hda1 /winvfat user,exec,umask=0 0 0 Then create a directory off of / called win (you can name this anything you'd like so long as you name it the same in fstab, but win is simple easier to type). Now, as to the kernel issue, if you attempt to save a file to your /win directory get an error that that is not permitted, you'll have to recompile your kernel for ntfs rw. Ask if you don't know anything about recompiling. Also, while you probabaly have your W2k partition at the beginning of your dirve, /dev/hda1, you may not would have to determine what you'd enter there instead. But hda1 is pretty likely.

Note also that I've used it on NT 4.0 in more than one install on one of two with W2k have yet to run into trouble.

Hi! How can I set LM7.2 to see a Win2000 partition? Thanks!
