hi,

I have a machine with both windows and debian.( 2.6)
Now I have a problem to transfer data out from Linux cause the network is now temperary not working. I try to mount the window drive from Debian by moutn -t ntfs hda7 /mnt/window and I can see some of the contents but I don't have the right to write to windows. I have a flash memory using USB port, but I don't know how to mount it?
Please help! thanks

thank you for your help.

Then do you know how to mount a flash memory. i have used it under window xp. So is it also a
ntfs format? Should I format it before I can use it?
