Mount and linked directories
 

Im currently dual booting win XP Pro and Ubuntu. My partition table is as follows:

My question is how would I link directories from my shared drive to folders in my /home/user directory? i.e. /home/user/music points to /dev/hda2/My Music/

I plan on mounting /dev/hda2 as /files and setting permissions accordingly, will I still be able to link them if I do this?

Hi,
Edit /etc/fstab , and create a mount point, finally you link the mount point directory to your /home/user/ directory.
This may work for you:
It will give you access to your shared fat32 drive, make sure you create the /mnt/win_share directory or however you want to name it.
The linking part is easy to do in a Windows Manager, for example kde or gnome.

Once you've mounted the drive, this is the command line to create a link:

ln -s /files/My\ Music /home/user/music

Be aware most Linux cmds don't cope well with spaces in filenames, unless you put double quotes around them. Consider renaming your windows files to use underscores '_' instead of spaces...
