Thanks for all your help everyone. It worked great. Its all working correctly now!
Thank you for your time,
Arrummzen

You have to manually mount because the action taken when you mount by right-clickng the drive icon on the KDE desktop is to mount with the Linux read-only NTFS driver.
You can just reboot when done and it will unmount the drive. You could also do the right-click method to unmount if you want to continue operating in Linux while the changes are written to the drive.
I have never had any trouble with captive-NTFS. It is using windows' ntfs driver and kernel to do the operations so it seems like it would be perfectly safe. It is a little slow at writing, but slowness is a small price to pay IMO.

Hi, would someone be able to give me the lines of code needed to do this task ?
I believe I am dealing with the same problem that Arrummzen had. My mup.sys is corrupt from turning the the power off before it had fully shut down, so don't gimme that USB rubbish I have found on google please.
I have fixed this once before (I had another computer with similar specs thank god). But this time I am not so lucky.
I have a working version of mup.sys that I need to copy to my HDD (NTFS partition on a SATA cable). My devices are as follows, sda1 (C Drive), sda5 (My media drive, not needed in this scenario), sda6 (My backup drive, again not needed at this time) and sdb1 (My memory stick that has mup.sys on it).
I have downloaded the needed files from the Captive NTFS program, however, I can't use Konqueror to write, and from reading this topic, it seems I must use a shell.
I am begging someone to tell me what the commands are that I will need to copy from /mnt/sdb1/mup.sys to /mnt/sda1/windows/system32/drivers/
Many many thanks to anyone that writes anything helpful now...

ok extra bit, I have tried mounting the drive, with the "mount -t captive-ntfs /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1"
But it just says "Captive NTFS v1.1.5. Check a new version at http://www.jankratochvil.net/"
And then doesn't do anything, I can type extra junk but it doesn't do anything, the drive hasn't been mounted either.
HELP !!!

First you need to run the captive script, then try and mount it.
To copy issue this
cp /mnt/sdb1/mup.sys /mnt/sda1/windows/system32/drivers/mup.sys

By captive script do you mean the line that i wrote ?
Or the simple "mount -w /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1"
Because I've read that that is not the safest thing to do (not use the windows sys files to write to ntfs).
Thanks

try apropos captive
and find the captive script that finds the needed files.

[quote="Arrummzen"]ok, so the procedure is this
0: boot knoppix
ok it's easy
1: mount -t captive-ntfs /dev/hdx# /mnt/hdx#
hum... and you don't use "captive-install-acquire" ???
in my case
1) i boot with "fb800x600"
2) i click on HDA1 icon to mount my NTFS partition
2) i type "su" to be root
3) i launch "captive-install-acquire" (with root privilieges
4) when drivers is found, i open a new console and i type "su"
5) i type "mkdir /mnt/captive-LABEL_C" (no syntax error because
it's a copy/paste eheheh
6) i type "mount -t captive-ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/captive-LABEL_C"
but soft ask me "/dev/hda1/ already mounted" and i can to use "-o force",
and after ?
a) must i use "-o force" switch ?
b) i can use a graphical GUI to do it to navigate in /mnt/ and modify my
or must i type in commandline batch mode "cp, copy, rd and more and more ???"
2: Make needed changes, using stanard Linux methods, like cp, rm, mv, vim etc.
one day i hope to be at this step :X

doesn't work for me
I ran
captive-install-acquire
it ran the scan the went away then I ran
root@ttyp0[knoppix]# mount -t captive-ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1
and I got this
Captive NTFS v1.1.5. Check a new version at: http://www.jankratochvil.net/
and it just sits there

Facinating, am i getting the right drift here,
that this facility will actually safley write to
a mounted NTFS partition under Linux ?
The last time i looked, the kernel only had limited
support for this. An that is in v2.6.9.
The support being limited, to being able to write, but
only as long as the original file size wasn't changed.
So as not to corrupt the multiple meta-data records
that a NTFS maintains in respect to a file entry
in its' system.
As the details of the fs were secret, the
actual number and location of these multiple records
was unknown. Being the main thing holding back
its' open use in Linux.
If this is the case though, is is very "radicle" ...
Could you elaborate a little on it. Iv'e had a
look at:
http://www.jankratochvil.net/project.html
but the info seems a bit scant on this there
