Hi. I'm having a problem after I mount my Windows FAT32 partition in my Linux "home" directory. At first the partition seems to be all there and I can navigate through all the folders, but when I try to access something simple like a text file nothing happens. If I drag and drop that text file into Open Office only the file extention name appears. Finally, when I try to reboot and enter back into my mounted partition all ther files and folders are gone except for the directory that I created in Linux. The partition that I am trying to mount contains the Windows XP operating systems in it. I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

Hopefully someone out there will have an answer for me...

Welcoem to LQ.

You will need to mount it on each boot or put an entry in /etc/fstab to make it automatic.

sup guys. Hey korito, what's up!. I hope arizona is fun bro., glad to see you joined the site, I tell ya, you'll love it, hehe.

Anyway, are you trying to access the partition while you are root or as regualr user?, because if you try to do it you won't see any files.

Let us know what's going on. And say hi to your girl,

I am accessing shiznit as a SU.

I know where to mount my partition, but how do I have it load every time I boot?

You can place an entry in /etc/fstab

There are lots of examples on this site as well as more info in:
man fstab
