Question about Linux.

[titan79]

Xin lỗi mấy bạn nếu mấy bạn cảm thấy câu hỏi này hơi dummy quá. Okay, this is the question:

When I installed Mandrake, Lycoris or Lindows on my machine, I was able to browse my Windows hard drivers (or all the windows patitions). But when I installed Red Hat or Dedian, I was not able to browse other Windows hard drivers (partitions). How to correct this problem?

Thanks for reading my message.

It's a typical question for linux newbie. It's not dummy.
To read/write windows partitions on linux you need to mount it. Mandrake/Lyc.. do this for you out of the box.

Hi All,

For Mandrake, browse under /mnt directory, U will see all windows partitions.

1. Create a mount point
# mkdir /mnt/windows

2. Edit /etc/fstab
# vi /etc/fstab
--------------------------------
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat defaults 0 0

This will automatically mount your windows partition for every time it boots up

Remember to change /dev/hda1 to your appropriate device
/dev/hda - first hard drive
/dev/hda1 - first partition of first hard drive
/dev/hda2 - second partition of first hard drive
/dev/hdb - second hard drive

You get the idea....
