Win2K NTFS

[Kube]

Will linux be able to read or write onto a NTFS partition that was created throught WIN2K? :rolleyes:

The answer is yes, Linux with NTFS compiled or as module can read NTFS 5.0 partition but the write feature is dangerous and it may render your NTFS partition unreadable.Use it with caution...hope this answers your question.

Thanks very much man... I mostly just wanted to be able to access all my data and my MP3s on my NTFS partitions..

Thanks for the info, would you advice any software that will enable me to view the partitions in Linux? :eek:

Here's a program you could try: Linux. If you have a somewhat modern kernel, it should have NTFS support. I have 6 NTFS partitions mounted right now. Just make a directory to mount them to, preferably something in /mnt. I'll assume it's /mnt/win. Then, supposed that your Windows partition is the first thing on the first drive, you would do this:
mount /dev/hda1 -t ntfs /mnt/win
It's rather simply once you get used to it.

Yeah I have mandrake v7.2, it is the latest version, so I suppose that this should work fine...

But one more thing, I am behind a router and I can not seem to configure linux to work with my cable modem, what could be the problem? :confused:

What have you tried so far to setup your cablemodem? Is your ethernet card working.

Here's a link for cablemodem info on Linux http://www.cablemodeminfo.com/linbasics.x.html-ssi and also searching here for the topic will give you hundreds of hits.
