mount windows-ntfs disk in linux.

use the tool "ntfs-3g". (1) install the tool first. Search google for the download link. http://www.tuxera.com/community/ntfs-3g-download/ (2) once installed, use the format "ntfs-3g /dev/sdf2 /mnt/windows" to mount the disk. Make sure the directory "/mnt/windows" is pre-created. Note: (1) use the command "parted /dev/sdf print" to check the device name. Make sure under the root environment. http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/linux-viewing-drive-partitions-with-fdisk-parted/ (2) if one would like to mount the disk automatically, one will have to add the following line into the file 'fstab' /dev/sdf2 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g defaults 0 0
