Retrieving Information of other HD's

[Wolfman_Jack_55]

I logged on as root and went to the console and typed $mount /dev/hda1 /mount/windows It succesfully mounted the information all though when I switch back to a user I cannot access the information. It is an NTFS partiition so I am sure there are some complications somewhere. So how do I change the permissions on the folder so any user can view not just root. By the way whenever I shutdown it seems to flush it out so I have to add it everytime. Help is greatly appreciated.

in the /etc is a file called fstab

read the man pages for this to learn more ...

that enter "man fstab" from a console window.

as root, add the following line to the fstab file

/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat user,exec,umask=0 0 0

This should tell the system to mount the windows partition at start up

If you have Webmin on your system, you can create the mount point there. Under "System", "filestems", click on "add mount", then click on the "type" box and specify the type of filesystem (ex: Windows 95). that will take you to a dialog box in which you specifi the device (/dev/hda1 or wherever your windows partition is), then the mount point (/mnt/windows or whatever name you gave it). Then select other options, such a read-only, write, etc. Be sure to specify the owner and user privileges. Save the file, and reboot. The partition should mount whenever you boot, as root or user.

Is the fstab thing how you supermount or is that another line of code?
