No it doesn't out of the box, you can either download the NTFS based kernel from http://linux-ntfs.sf.net or you could use something like knoppix to do the trick for you. It will be mounted in read only mode by default. Please provide more info about what exactly has happened to make your mozilla go belly up. So indicate the steps that you performed to lead you to the thought that mozilla is kaput :) :) Aly.

What errors are you getting when you try to do the mount? Is the box detecting both drives? It is possible that the drive is not being detected well in that configuration because of the jumpers and the master/slave configuration on the drives. One option might be to get a Knoppix disk, put the D ONLY drive on the machine, boot to Knoppix and try to copy (cp) whatever files you need. Once you have done what you need, you can then decide whether to format to ext3 over a failed operating system. . Don't know about mozilla, can you give us some more details on this? If you just want to uninstall, you can do # rpm -e mozilla-packagename.rpm or maybe just try #rpm -e mozilla*.rpm Once it is gone, re-download the rpm for mozilla, and install it with the command: #rpm -Uvh <packagename> HTH

Yes , maybe it is not detecting the drive. If its any help here is some more info.... I use a SATA Intel Motherboard and have 2 HDD. The first with MSWindows has 2 partitions, one is the C-drive and second partition D-drive for backup. The latter using NTFS as i thought it is more secure. FC2-Linux is currently on the old second Hard disk. Since windows-XP has crashed i tried to retrieve the data from the backup through Linux so that i can format Windows and reload it again. Any ideas/help/pointers are welcome .. -- Kali **************** If U thought Life is UNpredictable, try M$-Windoze :-(

So best thing to do is try it out as root: mount -t ntfs /dev/hdX /mnt/driveD -o ro Make sure you have the /mnt/driveD directory created prior to giving the above command. If you don't know how a simple: mkdir /mnt/driveD should do it. Then you have to figure out which of your partitions is the drive 'D' in your system and replace that 'X' in the command above with that partition letter: fdisk -l will list the partition table for you and you can see which partition corresponds to your Windows partition. Good luck! You have to provide more information about this one. What did you do for it to go 'kaput'? Did you upgrade? What happens when you give the 'mozilla' command?

Well this is a result of your not having the NTFS drivers. So you have to get the NTFS drivers from the site in question and then retry the command appropriately. FC does not ship with NTFS drivers by default.
