hey all names shannon, i'm the resident new kid in town. i just got RH9 installed to dual boot with winxp on my new dell I5100. so far, it's running like a champ, except i'm not able to access my XP file system... not even read access. so far i've added the partition to fstab and have tried the usual: mount /dev/hdc2 /winXP but it keeps coming back saying that ntfs aren't recognized... so i figured that the folks here might have something for me. thanks in advance, shannon ===== It Doesn't Faze Me
