Does anyone know of a bootable Linux CD which allows both read and write NTFS file system access.
Insert does (well, i've never tried using the read/write ntfs driver but it says it does) see http://www.inside-security.de/insert_en.html for more.
Thanks for that Adam; iso download is now in progress...
Hi again folks,
I have downloaded the INSERT iso, created a cd from it, and used it to boot my Windows NT 4.0 PC. It boots ok but doesn't recognise my Microsoft 2 button serial mouse (it thinks I have a PS/2 wheel mouse) so I do a CTRL-ALT-F2 to switch to a terminal.
In response to 'whoami' it said I am 'root'.
I typed 'mount /mnt/hda1' and it came back with the command prompt.
I then typed 'mount' but noticed it was mounted 'ro' so I umounted /mnt/hda1 and edited /etc/fstab to change the 'ro' to 'rw' then remounted /mnt/hda1.
I typed 'mount' again and could see it was showing /dev/hda1 mounted as 'rw'
I cd to /mnt/hda1 and done a 'ls -l' and could see the NT directory I am after (C:\IAN) so cd into it.
But when I typed 'touch test.txt' I got: touch: cannot touch 'test.txt' : Permission denied.
I must be doing something fundamentally silly but cannot think what... Any ideas anyone???
Ian.
