Hi Paul, Ok, my memory, so following your suggestion. First commented out the lines for the windows partition in fstab. Rebooted: so nothing really mounted in /mnt/windows: [root@fedora hans]# mount -l /dev/hda7 on / type ext3 (rw) [/] none on /proc type proc (rw) none on /sys type sysfs (rw) none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,gid=5,mode=620) usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw) /dev/hda6 on /boot type ext3 (rw) [/boot] none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw) sunrpc on /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs type rpc_pipefs (rw) [root@fedora hans]# [root@fedora hans]# then started a terminal window in superuser mode and: [root@fedora hans]# cd /mnt/windows [root@fedora windows]# ls (OK, nothing there) [root@fedora windows]# mdir c Can't open /dev/fd0: No such device or address Cannot initialize 'A:' [root@fedora windows]# It seems that I do something wrong (newbie, IT-specialist, but coming from Billy...). The system seems to think that I try to do something with the floppy-drive??? any suggestion? > If you create directories /mnt/windows/c /mnt/windows/d ... > /mnt/windows/g etc. and mount each partition on the appropriate > directory, things will be much less confusing. > > Paul. > -- > Paul Howarth <paul@xxxxxxxxxxxx> -- With kind regards, Hans Troost e-mail: fedora + chr(64) + troost.tweakdsl.nl
