i believe ME only supports fat/fat32
u have to be careful to write on ntfs file system.
it's still ok to read from ntfs. (so copy from ntfs is ok)
first u have to know your ME's device name
if ME is on your first hard disk or if u have only one hard in your system
fdisk /dev/hda
and type 'p' there
find what your ME's number is. eg /dev/hda3
by looking at size of each partition
(you know how big is your ME , right?)
then press 'q' to quit fdisk
let's say your ME is /dev/hda3
then
as root
# cd /mnt
# mkdir windows
# mount /dev/hda3 windows
that's it
you can see windows files by
# ls windows
it's said that partition /dev/hda3 is mounted on /mnt/windows
I just right clicked on my deskop and hit add drive, selected the partition and hit ok. I go into that, find the files I want, hit control c and the control v into a linux directory and there they are.

Originally posted by futurist why type mkdir windows?
I don't want to creste directory, c:\windows is there already!
Can i access windows files from conqueror ?
Glad you got it working, but I want to clear up some confusion for you. In Linux you mount partitions at certain directories called mount points. A mount point is any given directory, it's easiest to name these directories by what is getting mounted there, hence:
mkdir /mnt/windows
THEN you mount the partition there, and acess it via a linux filesystem structure, not:
C:\
But:
/mnt/windows

thanks, i understand now, the mkdir windows is to let me know my ME partition can be accessed here.
