First of all, it might be an idea to check that your kernel understands NTFS. The command below will give a list of all the filesystems that Linux understands. If you see ntfs, then you are OK. Also it might be a good idea to read the mount manual, man 8 mount.


cat /proc/filesystems


Next you need to create a place to mount the NTFS Volume. Then you can mount it.


mkdir /mnt/windows


mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows -t ntfs -r
