Access NTFS Partition in Linux on Centos 6.4

Hello Friends,

Hope All are doing well, Today I am going to share , How can we access NTFS (Windows) partition in our Linux Machine.

This can be done only with few easy steps :- have a Look 🙂

First Enable EPEL repo :-

[root@sahil ~]#rpm -Uvh http://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/i386/epel-release-6-8.noarch.rpm

Install a package called ntfs-3g to Enable NTFS support by using yum:-

[root@sahil ~]yum install ntfs-3g -y

Check your HDD Partitions:-

For Example

[root@sahil ~]# fdisk -l

Disk /dev/sda: 40.1 GB, 40060403712 bytes

255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4870 cylinders

Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes

Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

Disk identifier: 0xe829e829

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System

/dev/sda1 * 1 26 204800 83 Linux

Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.

/dev/sda2 26 2576 20480000 83 Linux

/dev/sda3 2576 2837 2097152 82 Linux swap / Solaris

/dev/sda4 2837 3098 2101709 83 Linux

Disk /dev/sdb: 1000.2 GB, 1000204886016 bytes

240 heads, 63 sectors/track, 129201 cylinders

Units = cylinders of 15120 * 512 = 7741440 bytes

Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

I/O size (minimum/optimal): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

Disk identifier: 0x41857597

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System

/dev/sdb1 2 27090 204792840 f W95 Ext’d (LBA)

/dev/sdb2 * 27091 54180 204800400 7 HPFS/NTFS

/dev/sdb3 54181 129201 567158760 7 HPFS/NTFS

/dev/sdb5 2 27090 204792808+ 7 HPFS/NTFS ======> My Windows HDD(NFTS)

You can see above I have 3 NTFS partitions Now i am going to mount a partition(/dev/sdb3)

Now We can

Mount:-

[root@sahil ~]# mount /dev/sdb3 /mnt

Now we can use the data of Windows and  it will also appear automatically 🙂 🙂 🙂

Enjoy Linux-Ing 🙂 🙂 🙂
