hi,

i have a problem in linux. I have installed windowsXP and Redhat Linux
9 in my system. I would like to access windows partitions from Linux.
I have not defined mount points while installing Linux. Can i do it
now? If so how?

Thanks and regards,
Shiva

The access will depend on the type of filesystem: fat32 or ntfs:

ntfs will be read only:
mount -r -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/data

vfat:
mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/data

where hda1 represent the first partition of the first ide disc and
/mnt/data any mount point (you can create it with mkdir)

when you are able to access the data, just look at the /etc/fstab file
and edit it to make your changes permanent (just add the necessary line).
Just mimic the structure of the already present lines...
If it don't work you can easily erase the faulty lines.
