Marbin 0 Posted October 8, 2003 I got Mandrake 9.1 on my desktop and I want to know if I can see folders and files in the windows partition, because Im tired of burning cds on windows and use them when linux is up. Share this post Link to post
blueworm 0 Posted October 8, 2003 Mandrake should have mounted your windows partition at /mnt/windows_c The mounting of these partitions is automated at boot, by /etc/fstab. If for any obscure reason it is not mounting at boot you will need to mount manually. as root. Code: mount -t vfat /dev/hdaX /mnt/wherever X = the partition number. Share this post Link to post

Marbin 0 Posted October 10, 2003 Dude thanks a lot for your time, I solve the problem, by going into de /mnt/ folder Why so many CD drives, I only got three, a DVD rom, cd writter (both came with the Vaio) and a DVD writer (HP externat unit model dvd300e DVD+R/+RW) Share this post Link to post
slimmer 0 Posted October 10, 2003 you can remove the dirs by deleting the unnecessary ones. As root! Share this post Link to post
