how can i mount a windows shared folder on my linux box.. please tell me the command as well as the enrty i can make in fstab. I am using fc2 n the windows machine's os is XP..
Check your windows partition by issuing command
fdisk -l
*snip* I think he means he wants to access a Share which is on 'another machine' which is running WinXP. I think Samba is what you would use for this. Can it be done via a mount command ? Pls enlighten me someone.
If it's on the same machine, of course a simple fstab entry would work. /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows msdos But then he mentions the word 'shared' Gishu
