Windows partition used “ntfs-3g”, see step by step below to make mount point :
1. yum-priorities package install for rpmforge add to yum
[root@localhost ~]# yum install yum-priorities -y
2. list your /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf
[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf
— files : /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf
[main]
enabled = 1
check_obsoletes = 1
priority=2
3. change priority to “priority=N” in /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf
[root@localhost ~]# vi /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf
— or —
[root@localhost ~]# gedit /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf
— files : /etc/yum/pluginconf.d/priorities.conf
[main]
enabled = 1
check_obsoletes = 1
priority=N
4. install “rpmforge”
[root@localhost ~]# rpm -ivh http://apt.sw.be/redhat/el5/en/i386/dag/RPMS/rpmforge-release-0.5.1-1.el5.rf.i386.rpm
5. update yum
[root@localhost ~]# yum check-update
6. install “fuse”, “fuse-ntfs-3g”, “dkms”, “dkms-fuse”
[root@localhost ~]# yum install fuse fuse-ntfs-3g dkms dkms-fuse -y
since CentOS-5.4 have its own “fuse” modules than you can install it from your local media (DVD) or sources, you can use this :
[root@localhost ~]# yum install fuse -y
[root@localhost ~]# yum install fuse-ntfs-3g dkms dkms-fuse -y
7. find your NTFS partition (mark with bold)
[root@localhost ~]# fdisk -l

/dev/hdc2 12162 24321 97675200 7 HPFS/NTFS
8. make folder for mount ntfs
[root@localhost ~]# mkdir /mnt/hda1_windows
[root@localhost ~]# mkdir /mnt/hda2_windocs
[root@localhost ~]# mkdir /mnt/hdc1_iso
[root@localhost ~]# mkdir /mnt/hdc2_docs
9. mount ntfs filesystem to folder “/mnt/”, type is ntfs-3g
[root@localhost ~]# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1_windows
[root@localhost ~]# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2_windocs
[root@localhost ~]# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hdc1 /mnt/hdc1_iso
[root@localhost ~]# mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hdc2 /mnt/hdc2_docs
read your files…
[root@localhost ~]# ls -al /mnt/hda1_windows
[root@localhost ~]# ls -al /mnt/hda2_windocs
[root@localhost ~]# ls -al /mnt/hdc1_iso
[root@localhost ~]# ls -al /mnt/hdc2_docs
10. read mounting point in fstab
[root@localhost ~]# cat /etc/fstab
— files : /etc/fstab
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0
11. create mounting point “ntfs-3g” (read-write) in fstab
[root@localhost ~]# vi /etc/fstab
— or —
[root@localhost ~]# gedit /etc/fstab
— files : /etc/fstab
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
tmpfs /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1_windows ntfs-3g rw,umask=0000,defaults 0 0
/dev/hda2 /mnt/hda2_windocs ntfs-3g rw,umask=0000,defaults 0 0
/dev/hdc1 /mnt/hdc1_iso ntfs-3g rw,umask=0000,defaults 0 0
/dev/hdc2 /mnt/hdc2_docs ntfs-3g rw,umask=0000,defaults 0 0
note : if you want to mount read-only partition use
/dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1_windows ntfs-3g ro,umask=0222,defaults 0 0
12. remounting fstab without reboot
[root@localhost ~]# mount -a
0.000000
0.000000
