Something for apple shake users on fedora

    Hi just adding another entry to my indispensable..

Linux is a totally different from windows environment and how it operates.. For those people who are new to Linux(fedora) this topic is useful..

In linux we cannot access windows NTFS drive (in some linux distro we can not in Fedora)
but its not like linux doesnt like NTFS linux has built a utility that will help viewing NTFS partition thats called ntfsmount or mount.

so suppose you have multiple drive on linux and we want to know which one is NTFS or linux format.. to do this

use command fdisk -l

this will list all the partitions

eg...
/dev/sda1

or /dev/sdb1
/dev/sdb2

suppose sda1 is NTFS and we want to access data on our fedora,

create a folder name it whatever you want, I made a folder named it windowsDrive

So now if you want your fedora to every time show you windows drive inside the newly created folder, you need to mount your sda1 drive to that folder

so put this script line inside your etc/profiles file. i.e. located in etc directory of your fedora filesystem


mount /dev/sda1 /root/Desktop/WindowsDrive
