unknown filesystem type ntfs

[Pranshu Nahar]

Hey Sean,
I installed that ntfs-3g driver but the problem continued !

Could please elaborate on the following when u say:
"It's in the mainline Linux kernel so all you have to do is flip on the
config option and recompile."
I am really not getting this.Could please guide me in a bit more detail.
