redhat - Red Hat Enterprise WS Version 3 on Dell M4300

    I am trying to a dual boot on Dell M4300 but the Red Hat installation process does not recognize the hard drive.

    I have looked around a bit and so far I found that since I have a very old version of Red Hat, SATA drives are not supported by the kernel version. Some have succeeded by setting the SATA mode to something other than the actual SATA in bios but I have yet to find the option for it on my M4300.

    I have updated the bios to the latest and greatest version that DELL offers and still can not find that option.

    Is there a way to get this going with a SATA hard drive?

    Thank you

    linux - Mounting External Hard Drive on Red Hat
  • Femme Fatale

    I have Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 installed on my machine. I am unable to mount an External Hard (NTFS). I have tried several options which are as under:

    Option 1
    After making a dir /media/windows
    mount /dev/sda1 /media/windows/ -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0222

    Option 2
    `mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 /media/windows

    I get this error: mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs'

    None of these options seems to be working. Here is dmesg of External drive

    I think you need to mount /dev/sdb1 disk instead of /dev/sda1
