    Hi,

    I have a PC harddisk and connected it to my Peg2, however the partitions are in NTFS format, is there a way to mount these partitions so they get accessible on Morphos/Amiga?

    Even windows98 can't directly access NTFS partitions. Look at 'what kind of hoops you'd have to jump through' (figure of speech) to access NTFS from windows98 (and this solution is READ only) HERE

    On Linux you can mount NTFS filesystems. Why is it not possible under MorphOS?

    but even under linux it's a READ only mount.

    'course you could bung it in an old PC and use Samba ... that would be read/write.

    Also IIRC 'NTFS 5' (Win2K/XP) can't be read directly from NT4 (if you install 5 over 4 it does a conversion thing).
