I have Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 installed on my machine. I am unable to mount an External Hard (NTFS). I have tried several options which are as under:
Option 1
After making a dir /media/windows
mount /dev/sda1 /media/windows/ -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0222
Option 2
`mount -t ntfs /dev/sdb1 /media/windows
I get this error: mount: unknown filesystem type 'ntfs'
None of these options seems to be working. Here is dmesg of External drive
