I've had good success with installing fuse and ntfs-3g on my dual boot linux partitions of CentOS 5.5 of my windows vista partitions using the following commands: sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hda1 /media/vista I am new to parallels and like most of what is it doing for me and tried mounting my windows vista ntfs partition using the same method as I have on dual boot but all results from fdisk -l hda, hdb, etc all have no results. I assume this is because the partition is already mounted using Windows at the main boot loader on the pc since running the following results in error due to it being mounted already sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hda1 /media/vista Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened. The volume may be already mounted, or another software may use it which could be identified for example by the help of the 'fuser' command. Is there a way with parallels to circumvent this or some far more simple orrrr elegant solution I am overlooking or not thinking to asssk about correctly? Thanks, -d.
