Hi Madan, Mounting FAT32 partitions in Linux is breeze, however NTFS partitions often gives pain in the neck. Anyways, first fire: #fdisk /dev/hda and then press p [This will give u an idea, what all partitions are fat32 and what all are ntfs] Say your /dev/hda1 is fat32 where as /dev/hda2, /dev/hda3 so and so forth are ntfs. We wil first try to mount fat32. Just fire the following: #mount /dev/hda1 /mnt Just open the /mnt in browseable window and you can see the microsoft contents. /mnt may be any directory where you want to mount your fat32 partition For ntfs partitition, you need to install a rpm depending on your kernel and distro from here <http://www.linux-ntfs.org/> once the rpm is installed just fire the following: #mount -t nfts /dev/hda2 /root Here also /root can be any directory where you want to mount your ntfs partition. *NOTE: /dev/hda can also be /dev/hdb or may be /dev/hdc depending on how you have conected your ide devices. Similarly if you are using devices on scsi interfaces, you will have to use /dev/sda or /dev/sdb or may be /dev/sdc Cheers -- PARAG . A . KALRA, The Linux Man Courage is not the absense of fear but rather the judgement that something else is more important than fear. "Hi Friends, philosophy of MICROSOFT over the years have been pretty nasty. 1. First wait for others to release their operating system. 2. Then copy the code and paste it. 3. Remove the comments from the same very code so that other can't understand it. 4. To be on safer side make some changes. 5. Unfortunately Microsoft lands itself in trouble and ends making the code full of bugs (poor programming). 6. Then release the patches and service pacts to tell & make people feel how much it cares for its customers. Pretty funny na. Such is the life and Such is the Microsoft.
