How do I access my win partition???

[Mr Myaghi]

I'm wondering how I can access my windows partition from within linux. I'm using mandrake 8.1 :rolleyes:

[X_console]

mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt

If your Windows partition is on hda1, then use hda1. Otherwise change it accordingly. Your Windows partition will be in /mnt

If you use Mandrake 8.1, it should already be mounted. Say you have a C and a D Windows partition. It would be...

/mnt/win_c
/mnt/win_d

...respectively.

If you have your windos on NTFS (like, you said "yes" when XP asks to convert fat to ntfs) then you need to write on fstab sth like:

/dev/hda1 /winNT ntfs umask=000 0 0

(umask=000 is to let a user access it)
