Thanks again Nicolas.
Somehow I managed to install ntfs-3g, instead of fuse-ntfs-3g:
Installed Packages
Name : ntfs-3g
Arch : i386
Epoch : 2
Version : 2011.4.12
Release : 3.el5
Size : 623 k
Repo : installed
Summary : Linux NTFS userspace driver
URL : http://www.ntfs-3g.org/
And it works OK now thanks! I have managed to mount the NTFS
HDD partition, and also copied some large files to it OK.
So that's really handy thing to be able to do.
Kind Regards,
Keith
