New to Linux... Accessing Windows Drive
I have Windows XP and Linux Mandrake each loaded on to two seperate hard drives. Am I able to access my Windows drive from linux at all? I'm looking to open files in linux, but they are on my windows drive. I have it set up as hda and hdb.

no problem, open a file manager, even Konqueror will do. In the address bar type
/mnt and you will see your mountable drives. Your Windoze will be there somewhere. Mine is listed as win_c. Just double click on it and you are in. No problem reading stuff on your XP partition, but can cause problems if you try writting to it. |
Writing to the NTFS partition is turned off be default anyway, so you shouldn't have too much of a problem...
I think mine's under /mnt/windows if not.. here is a fun way to do it yourself first make a directory, maybe under /mnt, maybe no.. i put mine under /mnt.. call it something fun like... windows.. or win.. or whatever you want it to be called then in console type ln -s /dev/haX(where X is your windows partition) /path/to/where/you/want/your/windows/mounted remember, when you mount stuff in linux, you mount the filesystem, basically... not necissacaraly the drive.. |
