Windows-Linux problems

I have tried to mount my HD (win/fat three two _this thing wont print numbers all of a sudden_) Anyway i have tried with mount with msdos vfat and umsdos as "type" and hda one as "dev" and all I get is what seems like the windows root system Everything else is inaccessible can you help me to mount my windows hd? there is lots of data i would like to access

If it helps: my computer has the windows hd on the first primary and Linux as the second hd, hdb. And it's loaded with LILO

If you are able to mount the drive C:, then you should be able to mount all the other partitions too.

you only have to change the partion number.
/dev/hda1 = C:\
/dev/hda5 = D:\

and so on..

fdisk -l /dev/hda
fdisk -l /dev/hdb

run as root should help you to see which partitions you have
(also see the file /proc/partitions .)

As filesystem for the Windows partitions, you should use VFAT.

Have a nice day!

Some simple mount commands using the mount point /mnt/windows :

For a temporary mount:

mount –t vfat –o rw /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows

For a mount on each boot-up add this as a new line in /etc/fstab

/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat umask=000,defaults 0 0

Just substitute in the device name of the relevant partition etc..
