mounting a hard disk to linux

[Lalit Nagpal <la...@yahoo.com>]

hello,

i am trying to mount a hard disk of 2 gb onto linux. what should i do to mount it

i did try to format it with ntfs file system and then entered the entry into the fstab

file and specified the file system as ntfs, but i got the message that the file

system is not supported by kernel. although the books says linux supports ntfs

plz tell me how to go about. 

i could have also specified the file system as dos, but then how to dos format the

disk and is it necessary to have a dos partition on linux then ?

thanx in advance

Lalit Nagpal.
