In order to mount a drive, you can either use the mount command (type
"man mount" at the command line for more) or the graphical version which
is at System > Administration > Disks (much the preferred option!).
Mount works at the command line by typing
mount -t [type] /dev/hdaX /place/to/mount
where [type] is vfat if you're dealing with Win 95/98/2000, /dev is the
device file and /place/to/mount is where in your filesystem you'd like
the disk to appear. If your disk is Windows XP, chances are things will
be trickier since Linux is still having a bit of trouble using the NT
filesystem, NTFS (reading is fine, writing a bit of trouble).
Let us know whether it is vfat or ntfs, and how the graphical partition
mounter works for you.

speedtouch modem. However at the moment they all are, with an
abundance of other data, residing on two separate drives which I
cannot access at the moment.
Could anyone help?
Thanks, Oren
