But still it is giving that > NTFS not suppoted The best place to start is /proc/filesystems This lists all the filesystem types that the kernel knows about. When you compliled the kernel did you enable NTFS as an inline part of the kernel "Y" or a loadable module "M"? If it's part of the kernel, then you should copy the kernel to /boot edit /etc/lilo.conf, run lilo and reboot. If you're using modules, then as root, "make modules_install" from the kernel source tree and "modprobe ntfs". If that succeeds then "lsmod" should show something like: Module Size Used by ntfs 47152 0 (unused) If this doesn't help, try reading the Kernel HOWTO: http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html Cheers, FlatCap (Rich) ntfs@flatcap.org
