Hi

I am newbie with Linux... I currently have set up a dual boot machine with XP Pro and RedHat Linux on the other.

When I installed windows I took the opportunity to set a few more logical partitions...

Now the question is How can I mount one of these logical drives?

Regards

man mount
man fstab

You will want to simply mount the drive like this from the command line:

mount -t fstype /dev/hdXX /mnt/windows

And to break this down to understand each one of those:

mount = Command to mount.
-t fstype = flag/option used to pass the filesystem type like if its NTFS or VFAT.
/dev/hdXX = The partition you want to mount, the X's stand for the letter and number of the parition slice.
/mnt/windows = The empty directory to mount the contents to view from.

And man fstab like mentioned before if you want to have the partition mounted at boot time.

Hi

Thanks for your reply...

I have tried this command and the error message is:

mount: fs type NTFS not supported by kernel

Any idea how I can get the kernel to support NTFS?

Well..... you'd either have to recompile your kernel or get the RPM from
