Re: [newbie] Retriving files in windoze via Linux

[Alan Shoemaker]

David....here's one way how (as root):

1. create a new subdirectory /mnt/c-drive
2. add the below line to your /etc/fstab file

/dev/hdXY               /mnt/c-drive            vfat    noauto,user    
0 0

(hdX must be the windows drive and Y is the partition number)

3. in the console mode type:  mount -t vfat /dev/hdXY /mnt/c-drive
