/mnt/Windows is empty

[BoB.gov]

in Slackware 8.0 with the updated 2.4.10 kernel, i cant access my windows partition from linux. before updating to 2.4.10, i had no trouble getting into it. i realize that its case sensitive, but this does not appear to be the problem.

has anyone else experienced this problem after updating? how could i go about fixing it?

It might have overwritten the /etc/fstab file.
Try typing in:
mount /dev/hda1 (or whichever HD/partition windows is on) /mnt/Windows

it probably wasnt "overwritten"

you probably just didnt include vfat support when you compiled your kernel, or if you did, then it might be modular and you need to modprobe vfat as root

if you got nt then try modprobe ntfs

otherwise go back into your kernel source, make menuconfig or xconfig or whatever you like doing, then go to filesystems, and include vfat support as a module. then save and compile
