Problem with the Proc command

When I do a /proc/partitions........I get permissions denied...........

This happen after I attempted to mount a filesystem.

Is there a way to undo this?

Discovered my problem. I have to use "Cat" in front of the "/proc/partitons".

Thats the problem about switching back and forth between MsDos and Linux LOL.

As /proc is a real time file system once should only view the contents of the files using a program such as 'cat'.

Earlier when you ran '/proc/partitions' it would imply you're trying to execute that file.
