    Hi.

    I have an Acer Aspire One (Linpus Linux version) and I can't seem to mount my 120GB ntfs external hard disk.
    The error message i get is unknown file system 'ntfs'. Any way to mount this?

    Thanks!

    try this:

    1. run terminal
    2. sudo yum install ntfs-3g

    it should work fine.
