If you've got FAT or VFAT file systems on the Windows drivers, you should be able to read/write to them without a hitch. If the drive is NTFS, you aren't going to be able to write (safely), but can read from them with a quick kernel compile (is there such a thing as quick kernel compile?). You should have the partitions/drives already mounted automatically by MDK - under the /mnt directory. You might want to check'see that they're already there and mounted. If not, you can either use MCC to mount the partitions, or manually edit your /etc/fstab, or open a term and do a mount manually there. -- Tue Dec 10 22:55:00 EST 2002 10:55pm up 2 days, 2:40, 6 users, load average: 1.53, 1.42, 1.34 .o0 linux user:267497 0o. -------------------------------- | __ __ | kühn media australia | / \ /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | .\__/ || | | | | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kühn | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |/ ._/ |"""""""""| | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | |'. `\ | | | icq: 5483808 | ;"""/ / | | | | smk ) /_/| |.-------.| | mobile: 0410-728-389 | ' `-`' " " | Berkeley, New South Wales, AU -------------------------------- Coralament*Best Grötens*Liebe Grüße*Best Regards*Elkorajn Salutojn You can't cheat an honest man.
