Network unable to access hpfs/ntfs properly
i can't access my ntfs partition from one of my linux devices and can only acess it read only on the other... the two linux systems are Fedora core 4
and Ubuntu Hoary hedghog5*... all three are on a 40Gig drive ofcourse the
windows partition is the primary partition but Fedora doesn't recognize
ntfs when I try and mount it and ubuntu will only mount it read only.. I have
also tried knoppix; this will only mount read-only. i fdisked the ntfs/hpfs partition and used the t flag to toggle a different partition ID but that did not
seem to work.. I need to change the ntfs partition to vfat so it boots without
having to format the drive if possible or if there is any way to configure the
linux partitions to recognize the ntfs/hpfs format ....
please help ; thanx in advance moxxx68
