lunix? Is that a deliberate misspelling or some wacko distro i've never heard of.

well no matter. Lunix 8 doesn't exist afaik, neither does Linux 8, please specify what distro you're on in future. i'll assume redhat 8.

if so then go to linux-ntfs.sf.net and follow the instructions there

I just answered to a thread that is asking the very same question. Try to search the website before posting a repeating question.

Anyway...what distro are you using?

...if everything was configured correctly...then what you have to do is this.

Make a folder in /mnt

mkdir /mnt/Winxp

then type the following command
but before...you need to know which partition your Winxp is.
maybe it's /dev/hda1..but you need to find out.
So, if it was /dev/hda1 then you would type the command like this:

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

type this as root. then the drive ought be mounted in the folder /mnt/Winxp

good luck.

Another tip:

Put that same line in /etc/fstab if you want XP mounted automatically at boot time.

Not to be rude but you must not have looked very hard. I know for a fact that mounting partitions is dealt with quite extensively in the Redhat docs. (www.redhat.com)
