The syntax is right - the problem is that /dos does not exist. You logged in as root and were put in the directory /root, which is root's home directory. You said `mkdir dos' rather than `mkdir /dos', so you actually created /root/dos. Do `mv /root/dos /dos' and do the mount again. -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver PGP key from public servers; key ID 32B8FAA1 ======================================== "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
