Ahh, you didn't mention it was NTFS. The easiest thing you can do is convert your NTFS to FAT32 (if you can do without file system security). RedHat supports NTFS just the same that every other Linux based distro does. It's the kernel, not the distro that has the support for the file system. NTFS is a proprietary (closed format) file system (like most everything Microsoft) so any support for it has been gained by reverse engineering and tinkering.
You can recompile the kernel and add NTFS support (only go for read only) but they say you have a good possibility of screwing up your NTFS file system using it in the 2.4 kernels. I just read that the 2.5 kernels have been completely stripped of the write code. My suggestion is to convert your NT/2k/XP side to FAT32 (FAT16 for NT) and be happy.
Here is an NTFS FAQ with some good reading:
http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/info/index.htmlWith Microsoft it's always going to be like a dog chasing his tail. As soon as NTFS support works in Linux M$ will have Longhorn out with their new database file system. I hope the world is finally rid of Microsoft before that happens.
