LILO help with Redhat

I just installed RedHat 7.1, and used the LILO bootloader. I had windows 2000 on the hard drive before, in the first partition on the first hard drive as NTFS. When I try to boot into 2k from lilo, it just prints L? and dies. Linux boots ok, but I can't access /dev/hda1 because it says ntfs is not supported by kernel.

Anyone know how I can fix either or both of these problems?

TIA
 
shoulda tried for a few more minutes to fix it, I figured out what was wrong. Redhat installer set dos boot partition as /dev/hde1, which is master on my promise ata100 controller, when it shoulda been /dev/hda1.

Anyone know how to fix the accessing NTFS in linux problem?
 
To access NTFS you'll need to compile a new kernel with NTFS support, it's not included because it's still very much alpha quality, reading generally works ok but writing is very dangerous. It's best to use FAT32 to share data between Windows and Linux.
