Mounting a windows drive
 
I have Redhat 9 and am trying to mount a windows drive.. This drive has data files I need.

I'm new to linux and having touble.. While browsing I seen some commands to try to mount but I dont know what hd"x" to use. I seen somewhere to run fdisk but that gives me a bad command.. I also seen to type df.. so i did.
Code:
Filesystem          1K-blocks      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda3            21274668  2067644  18126324  11% /
/dev/hda1              102454      9323    87841  10% /boot
none                    62492        0    62492  0% /dev/shm
[root@localhost //]#
I can boot to DOS and see my files but How do i mount the drive in Redhat 9?

You need to log in as root first.

fdisk -l /dev/hda (That is a small L)

My first guess would be hda2.

Post the output

Ok I got it mounted.. and can see my files I had to mount hda5

will this stay mounted when I reboot?

You'll need su dash ie

su -
root password

to get a typical Root user PATH in Red Hat and hence use fdisk (well /sbin/fdisk) - anyways......

- it'll get mounted on boot-up if you put an entry in /etc/fstab

create a mount point

mkdir /mnt/windows

then on a new line in /etc/fstab

/dev/hda5 /mnt/windows vfat umask=000,defaults 0 0

save - then reboot
