I thought RedHat 7.1 had the ability to read NTFS anyway? I think the distro I've got can do that, although I can't remeber off hand since I haven't rebooted out of Windows for about a month now. I think if you run XConfigurator under XWindows, there's a tab somewhere which lets you choose which partitions are mounted on boot, where they're mounted in the tree structure and what file system they are (much easier than editing fstab yourself ) Changes apply automatically too.
