I would first make some changes to /etc/fstab. I have the following in mine: /dev/hda1 /mnt/win1 vfat defaults,ro,user,noauto 0 0 You would need to change /dev/hda1 to reflect the partition that your windows stuff is on. The directory /mnt/win1 is nothing special just make sure that any directory name you put in /etc/fstab exists and if it don't make it. The vfat option is for fat-32 filesystems. The ro option makes the filesystem read-only when mounted. If I want to be rw (read-write) I mount it as root, with the following: mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/win1 The user option allows normal users access to the filesystem and the noauto makes sure that the filesystem is not automatically loaded when the systems boots. Anyway, once you have an entry in /etc/fstab, it is easy to mount the filesystem. In my case I would use: mount /mnt/win1 The command you use will, of course, vary according to how you decide to make your /etc/fstab. t.irvine > *BFN* > > Greek Geek :-) > > > > Q: What algorithm did Intel use in the Pentium's floating point divider? > A: "Life is like a box of chocolates..."
