I'm dual booting Windows 2k (Fat 32 who cares) and Redhat 9.
I'm sure somebody knows how I can mount the Windows 2K partion while in Redhat. May need an entry in fstab or something. Suse used to do this for me-I got spoiled.

If windows 2k is say hdb1 have you tried making a directory in /mnt and trying mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/filename?

Hi lancest

To mount a FAT32 filesystem on Boot-up were All users have Read, Write, Execute access, put an entry at the bottom of your /etc/fstab file on a new line - (just substitute in your Partition, Mount point and User ID number in place of my example ones)

/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat auto,uid=501,umask=000 0 0

You can get your User ID Number by becoming Root user on the command line (su – root password) and typing:

id username – (substitute username with Aaron or Sofie or whatever your username is)

He's using windows 2000, it's likely NTFS, not FAT32. Write support is not fully supported in NTFS, so you could write to an NTFS partition but you can't necessarily do it reliably. So, if it is NTFS, you can use the following line in your fstab (provided windows is installed on hda1):

/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs auto,ro 0 0

The extra stuff that Skyline suggested is ok, but optional. Once you add that to your fstab, then you can mount it easily by running mount /mnt/windows. Having the "auto" on that line will mount it on boot, so you won't have to remount it next time you reboot.

Oh, and create the /mnt/windows directory, if it doesn't already exist.

Wrong Locura - read the first post again - he's using FAT32 for Win2k.

Lancest says:

Second - by default - only Root user has usefull access to files and directories on mounted partitions - that's why I often suggest a uid and a umask - these two options circumvent that situation.
