[Techtalk] Finding windows files while using linux

[Treena Larrew Milam]

I've been trying to mount my Win2000 disk with little luck. I turned 
ntfs support on in the kernel and recompiled and it's still telling me:

mount: fs type ntfs not supported by kernel

Is there something else I'm just not doing?
