Windows-Linux problems

I have tried to mount my HD (win/fat three two _this thing wont print numbers all of a sudden_) Anyway i have tried with mount with msdos vfat and umsdos as "type" and hda one as "dev" and all I get is what seems like the windows root system Everything else is inaccessible can you help me to mount my windows hd? there is lots of data i would like to access

If it helps: my computer has the windows hd on the first primary and Linux as the second hd, hdb. And it's loaded with LILO


Thanks for your time.

If you are able to mount the drive C:, then you should be able to mount all the other partitions too.

you only have to change the partion number.
/dev/hda1 = C:\
/dev/hda5 = D:\

and so on..

fdisk -l /dev/hda
fdisk -l /dev/hdb

run as root should help you to see which partitions you have
(also see the file /proc/partitions .)

As filesystem for the Windows partitions, you should use VFAT.

Have a nice day!

Some simple mount commands using the mount point /mnt/windows :

For a temporary mount:

mount –t vfat –o rw /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows

For a mount on each boot-up add this as a new line in /etc/fstab

/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat umask=000,defaults 0 0

Just substitute in the device name of the relevant partition etc..
