I have a dual boot set up with Redhat 7.3 and W2k professional. I would like to access from Linux the windows partition. I searched the interent and was able to find it for Redhat 7.2 but they used the linuxconf which does not exist any more in 7.3. Does any body know how to do this in 7.3?

Is it an NTFS partition? mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/win -t ntfs (Where /dev/hda2 is the partition, and /mnt/win is the directory you want to mount it to.) If you get an unrecogized fs type error, you will need to recompile the kernel with support for ntfs. Note that you'll only get read access. Unless it's FAT32 or something...

NTFS write is supported ,,,but is dangerous ....;) WHO CAREZ FOR THE MS JUST KEEP GOING ON WITH linux d1

G'day Michel I use Win2k's boot manager to load Mandrake 8.1 and Win2k. Log on to http://www.littlewhitedog.com/reviews_other_00011.asp there's an excellent article on dual booting. regards Robb

I cannot get it to work. I have a fat32 and I think I need hda1. I tried the following: mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/win -t vfat but got the error: mnt/win does not exist ?????

I still don't understand why this should pose too much of a difficulty. I was having the same problem about a year ago and all I did was make a directory called windows (or I guess the name you call it really doesn't matter that much) : mkdir windos and I just simply did this: mout /dev/hda4 /windows and it's always worked for me. But please note that in my case hda4 is where my windows2k is mounted yours could be somewhere else. let me know if this doesn't work.

Thanks you tom and chi-square, problem resolved. It stinks to be a linux beginner....
