First you need to know what filesystem Win2k is using. Then you need to make sure your Linux kernel supports that type of filesystem. If Win2k is running on NTFS then the best you will be able to get is Read-Only access. This will also most likely require recompiling the kernel. If Win2k is running on FAT32 then you should be able to get Read-Write Access.

Try this...
 

Try this:

if win2k partition is /dev/hda1 and is vfat then type:

>mkdir /mnt/windows (this creates a directory for your mounted windows file system)

>mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows (this will mount win2k partition and put the file system at /mnt/windows)

You may want to create a desktop shortcut to /mnt/windows
