- fdisk -l to see which partition has the NTFS file system. For example, let's say, it's /dev/hda1
- mkdir /mnt/windows create a directory to mount the NTFS filesystem.
- mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows/ -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0222
- -t option: type of the filesystem to be mounted
- with -o option, you can specify several option seperated by commas.
- with nls option, you can specify the io character set
- using umask, set the file permission on the file system (the value is in octal). By default, only root has the access, above option gives permission to other users.
- You can access your Windows files using the directory /mnt/windows (which may correspond to C:\, D:\, etc.)
- To unmount the Windows NTFS partiton: umount /mnt/windows/
