Hi all,

At the moment I have a machine dual booted with NT4 and Redhat 7.0.

NT is on an NTFS partition on /dev/hda1
/dev/hda2 contains the main Redhat 7 partition and
/dev/hda3 is the swap partition.

I am trying to find a way to mount my ntfs partition - I have been searching through usenet, but everyone seems to be saying you have to re-compile the kernel.  Is anyone aware of a pre-compiled kernel - or better still - a kernel module that would allow me to mount this ntfs partition?  The only reason I am interested in it, is that it has Word 97 on it, and am wanting to try running that program using Wine.  At the moment, the need to run Word 97 (for corporate documents) is the only reason why I need to boot into Windows, and would like to try and avoid this need if possible.  I've tried star-office but it has a nasty habit of mangling the documents.

thanks in advance for any assistance.

David Buddrige.
