Windows Volumes are basically partition with NTFS file format. So Its different from Linux file system. after we done this we have both read and write access to the mounted ntfs windows volume.
Step1 - Install EPEL Repo
Before you do anything you have to install EPEL repo on Centos 5.x
#su root
#cd /opt
#wget http://mirror01.th.ifl.net/epel//5/i386/epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
#rpm -ivh epel-release-5-4.noarch.rpm
Step2 - Install NTFS-3G and fuse
NTFS-3g is a drive that provide read, write, access to ntfs volumes.
Fuse is a optional driver that needs for mount NTFS volume to the Linux. this is install in centos by default but however its good to check whether we got any updates.
#su root
#yum install ntfs-3g
#yum install fuse
Step3 - mount ntfs volume into the Centos
make sure partition name.
#/sbin/fdisk -l
load the fuse driver
#/sbin/modprobe fuse
Create a mount pointer
#mkdir /mnt/ntfs
Mounting the NTFS partition. In my example my partion name is /dev/sda3
#mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/sda3 /mnt/ntfs
done.
Furthermore you can use following commands for access mounted volume or getting further details
#cd /mnt/ntfs
#df -h
If you want to unmount the ntfs volume, type follwoing command
#umount /mnt/ntfs
