Is there any way I can access the files on a Windows 98 (FAT32) partition in Linux? (RedHat7) Right now I've just been copying the file I need to a CDRW and then going back in to Linux.

you should be able to mount the drive in linux. 'man mount' for specific context, but should be something like the following. mount -t Vfat /dev/hdc /mnt/hdc replace hdc with your drive location also, you must have vfat compiled into your kernel.

I wanted to do the same thing and during my search i came across the following page on the net. http://www.linuxworld.com/linuxworld/lw-2001-01/lw-01-legacy.html its very useful and explains how you can access windows partitions and few other things. i recomend you visit the page Usman.

Just double click on the "home" folder on the desktop, then use the "up" blue arrow to get to the "/" level, then double click on the "mnt" folder. There, you will find your various windows partitions. On this computer, I have only one 120 MB win3.1 partition, and all of the files and directories are now visible in Konqueror in /mnt/windows. I have used Windows 3.1 to download an .rpm file that I wanted (such as Opera, or gFTP, then when I rebooted to the Mandrake partition, I could install it (or upgrade it) from right where it is in the Windows partition. To Linux, it's all the same, part of the linux file system. I often leave downloads such as that in the windows partition, so I can move the file to another machine with MS-DOS intersvr, using a laplink cable hooked to the serial ports of the two MS-DOS computers. Then, the target machine can be rebooted to Linux, and the .rpm file installed as well on it. "Linux sees all, knows all" "Windows sees only Windows" no keys--- Rapidweather
