Accessing NTFS drives in Ubuntu Linux (Feisty Fawn)


Having a dual boot system (Ubuntu Linux Feisty Fawn 7.04 and Windows XP), it is essential for me to have full access to my NTFS partitions. By full access I mean read and write access. I should be able to read files, write new files, edit existing files and delete files and folders.
It has always been a bit on the tricky side to enable all these possibilities in Linux but not anymore.

By installing "NTFS Configuration Tool" it is a matter of few click before you have all your NTFS drives on the table.

From Application menu, run Add/Remove.



Then in top right corner list, select "Show All Available Applications".







In the search box type: ntfs and select and install NTFS Configuration Tool.






Now run it and there we go!
