NTFS write support
In Mandriva Linux 2008, drives and partitions formatted with the NTFS file system can be made writeable via the use of the ntfs-3g driver. If the package
ntfs-3g is not installed, install it (see
this page for instructions on installing software). Then use the Mandriva disk management utility, diskdrake. Select the desired partition, unmount it, and switch to advanced mode. Change the partition type to ntfs-3g. Click Options, and ensure the checkbox labeled 'ro' is unchecked. Now mount the partition again. Exit, and save your changes.
