Hi,
I have a PC that doesn't start because the HD is completely full. The
user filled up the recycle bin and never emptied it. I need to be
able to delete all the junk in the recycle bin so WindowsXP can start
and I don't have to reformat the HD and reinstall everything. I only
have macs and linux machines to do this. I put the HD in a firewire
enclosure and mounted in both macs and linux boxes and it always
mounts as a read only volume. Therefore, it lets me see the content
of the disk but it doesn't let me delete anything. Can someone tell
me how I can get to delete files in this NTFS volume using FC6?
Thanks,
EJ


Install the ntfs-3g package:
yum install ntfs-3g

Then when mounting instead of ntfs as the partition type, use ntfs-3g
