Help with reading files!!!

[cthestars]

I have installed RedHat 7 on a Thinkpad 380z. Unfortunately, the cd-rom does not work so I installed dos on a small partition, copied the install cd to the partition, then installed Linux on the rest of the drive. Is there any way to read files from the Dos partition while in Linux?

Also, can I read files from a dos formated disk?

Thanks!!!

Yes, you need to mount the disk you want to read/write to. For example, to read your dos partition, assuming it's /dev/hda1:

mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt

To read a floppy:

mount -t vfat /dev/fd0 /mnt

If vfat doesn't work, try replacing it with msdos.
