How Can I Access The Ntfs Partition On Linux 5?

Mounting ntfs (should be read-only as the ntfs drivers for linux are shaky at best):

first, become root:

sudo -s

Then mount the drive:


mount -r -t ntfs dev_entry mount_point


where dev_entry is the /dev/ entry for your hard drive ( eg. /dev/sda1 )

... Try doing

      fdisk -l

     at a terminal prompt to see what disk entries you have...


And  mount_point is where you want to mount it


If you get that far, you can easily make a /etc/fstab entry to auto-mount the thing at login for you.
If you have a newer distro with yast, it has a built-in disk utility... May want to check that out as well.


If you want to share files between Windows and Linux and be able to write using either platform, it's preferable to setup and use a FAT32 partition. Both OSes can mount that type read-write.


As far as audio players, there's Helix Banshee, Kaffeine, mplayer, Amarok (my fav), Audacity, and several other players available on linux.
