See files on Windows Drive

[ScottyB_]

I have Redhat 7.1 and Windows 98. I would like to know what I have to do in order to see my files on my windows drive. I have done this before on a system with Mandrake 7.0 but don't know how to do it.

I am using RedHat 6.2 and I mounted window directory/drive so I can access them.
You can mount them by running mount command everytime you log on to linux or
change the linux startup script to include the win98 drive, i am using win98 right now
as i type and i can't recall the linux config file to be modified, it is the same file where
it include the cd-rom or drive a, just need to add the line for drive c.

Hope this help. if you wish to know the more, PM me and I will get back to you asap.

For RedHat 6.2, I found a concise answer by searching the RedHat site. One merely had to create a mount point (i.e., a directory name, say /mnt/vfat/C), then use linuxconfig to attribute vfat as the file type for that mount point, and select the appropriate windows partition. I'm sure the process has been updated for 7.1, and I'm also sure that the RedHat site has good instructions buried somewhere. In some newer Linuxes (like SuSE 7.1, which I have on two other systems), the links for Windows drives are created automatically.

comp.os.linux.redhat will probably give you the exact recipe within a day.

If you want to go the other way around (i.e., see Linux from Windows 98), consider using ExploreLinux.
