Windows looks alot easier... all this /give and /take and /move and /touch and /fondle commands... NEE KARK!

Well, be fair, we're trying to write to an NTFS filesystem in Linux.

Writing to a Linux filesystem in NTFS is going to give you a hard time too.

As a matter of fact, I don't think it is possible (without a Kevin Mitnickal amount of hackage) to even get Windows to SEE Linux filesystems, let alone write to them...

There is a solution or two for reading ext2/3 filesystems, but that's it. Won't help you with any of the other filesystems.

I have an app that I install to enable Windoze to read the ext/3 filesystem. Can't get to the name now.

You get the driver at http://www.fs-driver.org/
Called IFS-ext2

Aah yes, I have tried that. It made a pretty nice mess of my home file-system. So much for being read-only... Luckily I have kicked the Windows habit completely, so no need for such hacks any more.

EDIT: That was loooong ago.

There is a not-(read-only) option. The only reason I have Windows on, is for my Dreamweaver....

I'd much rather learn to code than run windows just so I can use Dreamweaver.

What does Dreamweaver do that Quanta and that other one (I can't remember the name) don't?

Oh but I can code. I just like having not to always spend hours coding to do some of the stuff I do. I have extensions on Dreamweaver that does amazing stuff.

There we go! Knew it had ext in the name.

# sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
# sudo gedit /etc/fstab

change the line for your ntfs to the below:

/dev/sda5               /media/sda5                 ntfs-3g silent,umask=0,locale=en_US.utf8

 

[Swift-wp]

# sudo apt-get install ntfs-3g
# sudo gedit /etc/fstab

/dev/sda5               /media/sda5                 ntfs-3g silent,umask=0,locale=en_US.utf8

Will try that out now. Thanks. What's the locale parameter for?
