Kali,

You seem not to listening to many of the suggestions, you need to install an 
rpm kernel that has the NTFS drivers, Alexander Dalloz has pointed it out to 
you, the site I mean. The default FC1/2 doesn't have this driver in FC kernels.

If this is not you cup of tea, then you can try Knoppix 
(http://www.knoppix.org) and burn that to CD and boot that, that should mount 
the drives for you automatically in READ ONLY mode when it comes up.

Cheers,

Aly.

I have not installed the most recent kernel for FC2, so possibly it has
changed, but the kernel sources RPM I have includes NTFS support. The
kernel builds done by the FC team have it turned off, but the driver is
there. All you have to do is build a new kernel after setting the proper
option. If you use 'make menuconfig', you will find it under File
systems --> DOS/FAT/NT Filesystems --> NTFS file system support. If you
set that to 'Y' or 'M', then you will see two additional options.

No, the Fedora kernels never supported NTFS (not by any FC 1 or FC 2
kernel). The fact that the Linux kernel source does contain the code for
building an NTFS module does not imply it is supported by Fedora
kernels.

The correct way is described by Arjan ("the Fedora kernel guy") in:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=129377#c3

Rebuilding the whole kernel or at least running through a whole rebuild
of all modules is a waste of time.

Does Fedora core-3 support NTFS without kernel rebuilding.

You can download precompiled ntfs supporting kernals from:

Fedora Core 3 doesn't exist yet, technically.

But the test versions don't include NTFS support, and it's *highly*
unlikely that this will change, since the problem is legal and
political, not technical.

On the other hand, with FC2 it is possible to install third-party RPMs
that support NTFS, and this is almost certain to become available for
FC3, shortly after it is released.

Hope this helps,

James.
