Access Windows partition from Linux & Boot problem ..

[HND]

1. How can I access win partition from Linux ? In mandrake there already shortcut to Win part.

2. I can't install LiLo into first part. of linux (I use Red Hat 7.1).I used RH 7 before and no LiLo problem like this version.

There probably is one in RedHad also just maybe in a different location.
cat /etc/mtab
will show you what is mounted and where, look for a line with vfat in it. Also
if it's not mounted then perhaps it was set up to not mount automatically on bo
ot.
cat /etc/fstab
Will show you what is set up to mount on your computer. Once again see if there
is a line with vfat listed. If so and it is set up noauto then you can mount i
t by typing:
mount /dev/<win>
Where you replace <win> with the windows partition listed in the fstab file. If
these all fail then try this
fdisk -l /dev/hda
thats a lower case "L". This should show you your windows partition and you can
then mount it with:
mount -t vfat /dev/<win> /win/c
Once again <win> is a partition i.e. hda1... sda1 and /win/c is a directory you
created to mount your windows partition in.

I'm not sure what that means. You can't install lilo on hda1? How is your driv
e partitioned and what does your /etc/lilo.conf file look like.
