hi friends i have found it very useful of using ntfs filesystem on my
harddrives.why? thats a long story....i was attracted by its built-in
compression ability(using virtual cluster algorithm+MFT) and the fast
indexing service provided by ntfs.We all know that this is the
preffered filesystem for windows2k or higher(default) .if anyone want,
can read about this filesystem from:
http://www.digit- life.com/ articles/ ntfs/
so,i started using it.then i faced some pb...ntfs is not recognized by
linux.so i cant mount my partitions.. i searched a lot and found
something necessary.At first type the command uname -a or just uname
-o in your terminal and the shell will show ur kernel version. then
visit this site : http://www.linux- ntfs.org/ content/view/ 187
U can download the rpm file of ur kernel version(its free).then just
install the file using: rpm -ivh (the name of ur rpm file)....and
there u go....u can check if ur system can now mount ntfs(linux tells
it hpfs/hfs) by viewing /etc/filesystems.
thanx all.
## beware of downloading the correct version file or ur kernel can be
corrupted.
..Linux recover after XP reinstallation(AMIO 10th batch)
It seems a real problem for many of us. Often we have to format or reinstall windows xp. So we loss all our data of winxp drive….and as we install winxp in the drive with MBR, we also loss our boot loader (grub or lilo). As a result we are stuck with a big problem. Here is one of the solutions:
// hope all of us at least have the linux installation cd/dvd….if u don’t collecting one may not be so hard.
>> insert the installation dvd/cd and boot from it. When anaconda starts….type linux rescue or simply press F5 and follow the instruction it says..
>> thus we have just started the rescue mood. The installation will now ask some information (languages, keyboard etc…..) and then it will automatically searc for linux installations.
>> then it will mount the directories (where the linux is installed) into "/mnt/sysimage. Then it will give a shell script.
>>type chroot /mnt/sysimage
>> then run a script named grub-install as follows:
grub-install /dev/hda (here hda is the name of ur hard drive…usually it is correct as had ….but if u have another drive and wish to install grub into the 2nd drive…use hdb instead…)
>> reboot
Here you go….restart the pc and regain ur lost linux installation.
