hi Abrar first thing is never write the subject of email like this.it does not convey any meaning.you have problem of accessing win drives..so type "how to mount win drives in gnu/linux" ...--------> just telling,don't feel bad.
1.first login as some user.. 2.type command " su" --this will ask for root password..write it. Now you have root access. 3.create C,D,E,F(or whatever you want) directories in the "/mnt/" directory. 4.goto " /etc/" directory. open "fstab" file in vi or any other text editor. edit the fstab 1st column : /dev/hda1 (hda1/2/3/4/5 ...for ur win drives) 2nd column: corresponding folders i.e /dev/hda3 for /mnt/C and so on.. 3rd column: vfat --(file system of win) 4th column: "auto"---> means the mounting is done automatically when booting..you need not mount them manually always.. 5th column: "0 0" -->access rights. if you create C directory in /mnt/ and if you have your C drive as hda3 then type it like this /dev/hda3 /mnt/C vfat auto 0 0 when the first time you write and save this file..the mounting is not done..only for the first time its like that...best thing is after you save the file.restart the system and when it reboots the drives will be loaded automatically.. what happens is fstab creates a soft link for the drives. creating /mnt/directory_name is really a soft link. may be this might be helpful... thanks :) --- Abrar Shaikh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > how can i view the access the files of windows xp > from linux fedora 2 shashidhar b desai.
