USB HD wrong fs?

When I plugin my USB External Hard Drive I get this:

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sdc1, missing codepage or helper program, or other error In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try dmesg | tail or so

I have no idea how it is formated, it works on windows and a mac can see the files but not save to it.

Thanks Community

The External HD is ntfs, should I reformat it fat 32?

After Googleing for awhile it seems that I need to do something to get suse to automatically mount the usb drive, is this true?
If so can you guys tell me what to do?

ntfs-3g is what you need to install to work with ntfs files. do a search on the forum, it’s been covered a few times.As i don’t use windows file-systems,that’s about all i can tell you

NTFS-3G is already installed

theres a config tool for ntfs also install that and run it

I found this trick and it seems to be working. At least on one of my HD. The other one is still being checked by a windows box. Will report back if it doesnt work

I simply ran:
cd /sbin
sudo ln -s mount.ntfs-3g mount.ntfs

in terminal
rotfl!
