Problems accessing the Windows partition under Redhat...
I just bought and installed the download edition of Redhat 7.3 on my laptop. I previously had Mandrake 8.2 and Windows XP on it. I could access my Windows partition through "/mnt/windows/". When I installed Redhat, I just erased the Mandrake partitions to install over it. I don't know why, but now there is no "/mnt/windows" and there seems to be no other way to access my Windows' partition. Is there a way to mount my Windows partition again???

Yes, it is. First, create /mnt/windows. Then start manually (as root):
mount -t vfat /dev/hdax /mnt/windows where /dev/hdax is the partition you have Windows on (use 'fdisk /dev/hda', then 'p' to see all partitions). When you have it, add a line to /etc/fstab (first look if you don't have a similar one): /dev/hdax /mnt/windows vfat defaults 0 0 I don't know if you're using FAT32, if it's NTFS, replace 'vfat' with 'ntfs' everywhere. |
Thanks a lot!!!

At install with Disk Druid, you could always set mount point of ANY partitions. Sadly, most ignore it.
