As the above post, if you want to see NTFS from Linux install the application: ntfs-3g"A problem well stated is a problem half solved." --Charles F. Kettering

Re: How to format an NTSF disk partially for Linux
You need to create a mount point for the drive, such as
Then mount the drive:Code:sudo mkdir /media/vista
substituting your device location for /dev/sdb3Code:sudo mount -t ntfs -o rw,umask=000 /dev/sdb3 /media/vista

Re: How to format an NTSF disk partially for Linux
Did you get an error message? The mount command usually doesn't display any results if it works correctly.tried this but nothing...
Did you create the /media/vista directory? What do you see if you type
after mounting?Code:ls /media/vista
