'my documents' not a directory ?
 
I cannot open 'My Documents' from DSl.

I have mounted hda1 and can see all my windows stuff, but when i try to open ' My Documents ', i have got a message telling is not a directory nor a file.

Any idea ??

Everything else works, and i'm Root when trying

Are you using
Code:

cd My\ Documents/
without the \ after My, it wont find it...

Thanks archdev, working !!

Now what will be the full path if i want to get to My images ??

( \My Documents\My images\xx.jpg )

Thanks again for your help

The backslash is an escape, used to make the shell print characters which would not ordinarily be printed...in this case, a space. So your command would be
cd My\ Documents/My\ images/

You could also use quotes:
cd "My Documents/My images"
