Hi,

The following cookbook style guide should help you to mount windows partitions on linux

1> first check out the list of partition you have such as hda1,hdb1, hdd3 etc .. whatever depending on whether yor IDE drive is configured to work as Primary/Secondary Master/Slave

2> There are two ways of mounting Windows Partitions 1> mounting them using the mount command as follows

create a directory under /mnt such as windows mkdir -p /mnt/windows

mount the windows partiton as follows (replacing hda1 with the proper device mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows

2> mount the partition at bootime by adding entries to /etc/fstab append the following line to /etc/fstab /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat defaults 0 0
