I have an two hard drives, one with xp and the other with mandrake 8.1, I want to be able to access xp files from linux. I saw about mounting your ntfs and i created a folder called windows in the /mnt directory. I am pretty sure i did this right using the configuration tool, but i don't see any files in the folder /mnt/windows/ . What am i doing wrong?
