File sharing

this is just one of those questions that you guys probly want to smack me for but, okay.. Anywho, I wanted to know how to be able to feed files through linux while i'm on XP, or vise versa. I tried it a lot while i was on redhat8 (oh i'm using a dual boot *lilo* to be exact) I was thinking that i have to mount the drive that DOS Is on, and go through teh procedure there, something like

mount = /mnt/hda1
Or something similar to that, I'm just not sure right now.

what i meant? you said something about feeding files, if you could explain exactly what you're after a little clearer. thanks

OH hahahah, I ment by like feeding as in reaching files under an NTFS format, from a linux format, is that possbile? or not??? hahah. My bad, I forgot what i typed up there; should have been better for me to ready that. Sorry.

yeah that's possible, but only to read them, not write as it's too dangerous.

mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/ntfs

might need to "modprobe ntfs" if your kernel doens'[t have ntfs in the kernel. search this site for a lot of info about mount ntfs drives

Does as a quick interjection, would the above then work to get into my ntfs drive that has all my media (video and mp3) on it and then be able to play them in linux?
