mounting a drive

[VRay]

I have a dual boot machine, which has a fat32 partition on which I store files. Is there a way I can access this drive through the linux OS?

Do a forum search on mounting Windows partitions and/or check out the NHF here: http://linuxnewbie.internet.com/nhf/intel/misc/winhd.html . Either should give you all the info you need to get your FAT32 partition available in Linux.

THanks!!! I knew there would be something but wasn't sure what to search for.

Wow, that worked like a charm...thanks again... So now how do I make my linux partitions available to windows??

Your welcome. The simple answer to your question is you dont. Windows wont read an ext2 partition. There is a very beta program for windows that allows it, mainly for NT4 I think, but is suppose to work for 9x and 2000 to some extent. Unfortunately I dont remeber what it was called and never actually tried it myself as it didn't really sound very stable from what I read about it.
