NTFS and FAT compatible... finally
My problem
- Had an external hard drive that I used with my MS Windows machine.
- Got a new linux machine.
- External hard drive did not allow linux machine to write to it – because hard drive is NTFS.
How could I write to external hard drive from linux machine without re-formatting the external hard drive?
My solution- Follow this tutorial on How To Use NTFS Drives/Partitions Under Ubuntu Edgy Eft
The only instruction I would add to this tutorial is that you must have properly ejected the external hard drive from your Windows machine in order for Edgy to mount the drive.
UPDATE: I just found these instructions for mounting your Windows partition and making it read/writable.
