Ok, yer replies come in the weirdest places! You should try to maintain the thread, it's easier to follow. Anyhoo, if you can mkdir test in /mnt/win_d, then there's nothing wrong with the actual setup, it's your X desktop that is having issues, not the system itself. It is actually very common to not have the option to reboot from the Login manager, at least I have heard that complaint from many people on here. Really, IMHO, it is far better to boot to a text-mode login in Linux, just go to Mandrake Control Center and Boot. It will allow you to set it to runlevel 3. That allows you to shut down your X desktop cleanly and then diagnose the problem. Also, you can reboot easily by pressing ctrl-alt-del or shutdown by typing "halt". When the machine boots, you can then login and choose what desktop or window manager you want to run. I don't think I ever asked, what desktop are you using, ie. KDE, Gnome, etc.? -- + Joe Hill + Registered Linux user #282046 + Homepage: http://nodex.sytes.net + ICQ# 279518458 + Do what thou wilt, this shall be the + whole of the law.
