I have two hard drives, with a windows partition on the first one, and a linux and windows partition on the second. I need to mount both of the windows partitions, and make them visible from the Linux desktop. I have RedHat9.0 by the way.

First, find out what your partitions are called in Linux, using the command 'fdisk -l' at a command-line.
Then mount them to a folder. First, make the folder:
mkdir /mnt/win_c
Then mount:
mount /dev/[disk] /mnt/win_c
Also a few questions. Can you post the output of 'fdisk -l'? What filesystem(s) are on the Win partitions (NTFS/FAT32)? What desktop enviroment are you using (GNOME/KDE)?

Little corrective side-note.

mount -t <appropriate FS type> /dev/[disk] /mnt/win_c
(FS: vfat, fatXX, ntfs)

Details in
man mount
man fstab


Cheers,
Tink

Filesystems are Fat32. I'm using Gnome. I'm guessing that I mounted the hard drive, but how do I access it. Like, where is it?

Your Win disks are /dev/hda1 & /dev/hdb5. Try mounting them. Remeber that FAT32=vfat in Linux. Then add lines for them in fstab. Read up: man fstab .

Open a file browser and go to /mnt, the drives should be there. Type file:/mnt in the location bar if needed.
