Centos 7 Installation Help

[TrevorH]

So to run this you need to go to the start menu then to All Programs/Accessories and right click on the Command Prompt icon and select "Run as Administrator". Did you do that? Once you have that admin command prompt open then you can run rawrite2 to write the image to the USB stick.

So no solution for this...???

[TrevorH]

What is the exact command you are running? Are you running the command prompt as administrator as I previously gave instructions on how to do? Are you picking the drive from the drop down list correctly?

Hi...thanks for the reply.
I successfully installed centos, i just had to rename .iso to .img and rawrite32 did all the rest...now after installing it...am unable to access my ntfs partition from windows...so any help on that would be really appreciated...thanks

If windows can't access its ntfs partitions, it would not boot.
Do you mean that you can't access the ntfs partitions from Linux?
If that is the case, you need to install ntfs-3g and mount them appropriately.

[vivekvm]

Hi, thanks for the quick replies.
i cant mount the partition in linux, and am kind of a newbie to linux and all this commands, so can you please tell how to install "ntfs-3g"...thanks in advance
