Default
In order to access NTFS file system you need install special module i.e. driver. It can be downloaded from following url
http://www.linux-ntfs.org/content/view/128/64/

Select your Fedora Core Linux version and then download appropriate driver according to your kernel version.

To find out your kernel version use following command:
Code:
uname -r
Once downloaded driver use rpm command to install it:
Code:
 rpm -ihv kernel-ntfs*
Now to mount NTFS windows XP system partition use mount command:
Code:
mkdir -p /mnt/c
mount -t ntfs /dev/hdXY /mnt/c
OR
Code:
mount -t ntfs -o nls=utf8 /dev/hdXY /mnt
Use fdisk -l command to find out name of NTFS partion:
Code:
fdisk -l
