I tried to mount /dev/hda1 ---- didnt work I tried to add a line to /etc/fstab ----- didnt work I don't even know whether I was doing right, was loittering around with the commands. How can I access windows directory. |
Try installing ntfs-3g.

Depending on your version of Fedora, there might already be a mount point setup in /mnt--if not you can make a mount point using "mkdir windows" (or "mkdir some_name")
then: mount /dev/sda1 windows OR mount /dev/sda1 some_name The ntfs filesystem should be detected automatically--if not, then do: mount -t ntfs /dev/sda1 window If there is already an entry in fstab, then: mount windows Here is the fstab entry that my system sets up automatically: /dev/sda1 /mnt/sda1 ntfs-3g noauto,users 0 0 This says that the partition will not be automatically mounted at boot time and that anyone in the "users" group is allowed to mount it "man mount" and "man fstab" for more details |
