how can I see my hard disk 1 drives the one that I installed windows on in linux redhat 9.0.
I have two hard disks one windows on and the other one linux but cant see the drives in linux and wise versa
Out of the box windows can't handle ANY
of the possible filesystems in Linux, so that's
a no-go.
As for windows from linux...
have you tried mounting them yet?
Where are the drives connected? Primary Master, Secondary Slave...
Linux refers to drives like this: hda=Primary Master, hdb=Primary Slave, hdc=Secondary Master...and so on. A partition is specified by a number. hda1 would be the first partition on hda.
You will have to mount the Windows drives to see them in linux, using the mount command in a terminal/command-line:
mount -t vfat /dev/<disk-name-here> /any/folder/here
This mounts FAT32, for NTFS:
mount -t ntfs /dev/<disk-name-here> /any/folder/here -o ro
<disk-name-here> is usually a partition, such as hda1.
To see the Linux partitions from Windows, use the Explore2fs program (assuming the partition is formatted in ext2/ext3).
