Hi
I intended to view my windows xp files from linux.I used an rpm and did it.When i did it i could see my windows files.
However the next time when i logged on as root i could only see the windows folder under /mnt.
But i could not see the files inside that folder.
Why is this so
Ajay
" i could only see the windows folder under /mnt."
You need to mount the Windows partition on the mountpoint directory. If you want that to happen automatically every time you boot then put an entry in /etc/fstab for the Windows partition.
