Hi Rohit,

Ah. Is that RedHat's 2.4.7?

As Francois says, check /proc/filesystems. If you don't find ntfs
there, you'll have to build a new kernel (not as scary as it sounds).

  http://www.linuxdoc.org/HOWTO/Kernel-HOWTO.html

covers ALL the details. If you have a RedHat system, then install the
kernel source and you'll find a .config that matches your system. You
just need to select NTFS support.

If you have any more questions or problems please go to our NTFS help
forum:
