Hi!
I need to mount one folder on the first partiton into a folder on second partition. To be precise, I need to mount the Email folder on hda7 ( which is a FAT32 partiton ) into hda8/home/myname/Email ( hda8 is an ext3 partition ). So how do I do that? Do I need to mount the entire hda7 and then mount the Email folder? Or is there a way that you can mount the Email foder on hda7 without having mounting the entrire hda7?

Best regards
George

Hi

Just wondering but have you tried creating a symbolic link to the other hd ?

cheers

Since windoze doesn't allow you to create partitions the way Linux does, you have basically only one partition with windoze on it. Every thing else is either a folder, or a file in a folder. Your only option to to mount the entire partition to a mount point (the /home directory you want to see it in, then navigate through the directory structure to the file you want to see. You do that by creating a mount point in /etc/fstab, then use the 'mount' command from the command line to mount windoze. Then you can see it in your file manager.
Though I suppose you could try giving the entire path to the mount point in fstab and see if that works. Something like "/dev/hda7/windows/path/to/directory /home/myName/Email fat32 defaults 1 1". If that doesn't work, well, you still the first option to ball back on.

Don't bother with the symlink thing. windoze doesn't fo symlinks.
