Thanks Jim!


The partitions on My USB HDD and Pen Drive are of FAT32 type. Only some of the partions on my Fixed Hard Disk are of NTFS type which I don't really need to access in RHL 5.

So, I will try to mount my Pen Drive or USB HDD by adding them to RH/etc/fstab as you have sugegsted.

Thanks for the link. I am fidning it a little difficult for me to understand the NTFS thing so I will go for FAT32 because I am new to RHL 5 and UNIX.

Therefore, either copy your files to the FAT32 parition, or to the NTFS paritition.

NTFS can be mounted read-only. It cannot be written from RH
Linux. Follow instructions here to get your partition mounted.
