Mounting the windows partiton
I have Mandrake Linux 10.0
I am running both Windows XP and Mandrake Linux 10.0 on this computer. My Windowś partition is /dev/hda5 My Linux partiton is /dev/hda9 I just want to know the command to mount the Windows partition. Because I want to copy a letter written in the Word for Windows program to the Linux. Could you tell me the command to mount the Windows partition, please? |
Your XP partition should already be mounted under /mnt/windows, but you can do it yourself:
mount /dev/hda5 /mnt/windows |
Thanks for the reply, amdrake. I got the following output.
[root@c83-250-88-242 ka]# mount /dev/hda5 /mnt/windows mount: mount point /mnt/windows does not exist What is the meaning of it? |
Then I tried the following command.
------------------------------------------------------ [root@c83-250-88-242 ka]# mount /dev/hda5 mount: /dev/hda5 already mounted or /mnt/win_d busy mount: according to mtab, /dev/ide/host0/bus0/target0/lun0/part5 is already mounted on /mnt/win_d [root@c83-250-88-242 ka]# What is the meaning of it? |
It's already mounted... Your files are located here:
/mnt/win_d KC |
mount: mount point /mnt/windows does not exist
means that the directory doesn't exist. You have to create a folder before you can mount a partition to it. To create a directory: mkdir [folder_name] |
Thanks kencaz
You are correct. |
Thanks for the reply amdrake
It worked beautifully. I just use the 'cd' command and went inside the ' /mnt/win_d' . I could see all the files in my Word for Windows program. I just copied them to the Linux using the 'cp' command. So it was not necessary to create an additional folder. |
