The drive is formatted NTFS, which is pretty much useless under Linux.
Forgive me, but this is simply not true. There is a fully functional NTFS
module available for read-write support in CentOS 5 (if you build your own
kernel), and I haven't actually looked at the CentOSplus kernel yet.
Erm, from the kernel documentation -- "The driver currently supports
read-only mode (with no fault-tolerance, encryption or journalling) and
very limited, but safe, write support" and "The biggest limitation at
present is that files/directories cannot be created or deleted." Also,
AIUI, permissions are nowhere near the *nix way.
It may not be completely useless overall, but it is certainly useless ot
the OP.
