Go to a konsole screen or window in Linux and use the command
mount -t vfat /dev/hd#%/Windows .
The "#" sign is replaced with the HD designation (a, b, ... ) and the "%"
sign is replaced with the partition number ( 1,2, ... ) on which your
windows partition resides. The Folder name /Windows is the folder in your
Linux filesystem under which you wish to access the DOS partition. For
myself, I do not want to have the DOS partition mounted all the time, so I
never tried to learn how to do this, but I think there must be a way. Then
when you are finished with your DOS partition, you can use the command:
umount -t vfat /dev/hd#%/Windows
I hope this is clear and helpful,
