I've been following this thread, and I'm wondering: why bother with NTFS
in the first place? If you have a mixed environment where you need
Windows to access your external hard disk, you might as well format it
with a FAT filesystem. Linux supports FAT natively, without making you
jump through burning loops.
If you don't know how to achieve this, here's how :
1) Backup all your data.
2) Given your external disk is /dev/sda, launch fdisk, delete the NTFS
partition and create a single FAT partition (hex code 0b).
3) Install 'dosfstools' and format your disk :
# mkfs.vfat /dev/sda1
4) From now on, mount your disk as FAT :
# mount [-t vfat] /dev/sda1 /mnt/disk
Cheers,
