Win\DOS doesn't know about EXT2, but Linux knows about VFAT (Windows
partitions with LFNs) and MSDOS partitions. You need to know the device
name of your DOS partition - probably hda1. If not, use the p command
under fdisk - one of the entries should look like your DOS partition.
Then do:
# mkdir /mnt/dos
# mount -t vfat /dev/dospartition /mnt/dos
Replace dospartition with your DOS partition's device name.
When done using the partition:
# umount /mnt/dos
You may want to add an entry for your DOS partition to /etc/fstab to mount
it automatically when you boot. Look at the fstab file, or man fstab. If
it still won't work, feel free to email me. HTH, HAND.
