Can't mount external hard drive with NTFS file system

[dookie]

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!

I read that ntfs-3g may well be what you need.

try this:

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

it should work fine.
