seems fishy to mount an ntfs filesystem in /mnt/msdos :-)

NTFS needs to be supported by kernel to work. do : "cat /proc/filesystems" it should look like this, at least for the NTFS line : ~$ cat /proc/filesystems nodev rootfs nodev bdev nodev proc nodev sockfs nodev tmpfs nodev shm nodev pipefs nodev binfmt_misc ext2 minix msdos vfat iso9660 nodev smbfs ntfs nodev autofs reiserfs nodev devpts xfs nodev usbdevfs
If it doesn't, either you have to load the NTFS module : "modprobe ntfs" should do the trick, or compile it directly into your kernel, if you know how to do.
BTW write support for NTFS is dangerous, only works (barely) for NT4 volumes, not W2K. You can read from NTFS safely though.
