I assumed more knowledge in my last post. Apologies. besides, that comand was wrong. So don't type it. The correct version is further down this post. :) for most of the rest of this you will need root privileges. 1) to find out which partitions are which, try fdisk -l you shoud see output a bit like this: Disk /dev/hda: 160.0 GB, 160041885696 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 19457 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 1217 9775521 b W95 FAT32 /dev/hda2 1218 1242 200812+ 83 Linux /dev/hda3 1243 3853 20972857+ 83 Linux /dev/hda4 3854 19457 125339130 5 Extended /dev/hda5 3854 7769 31455238+ 83 Linux ... there may be more or fewer lines in your output. if you are using NTFS for your windows installation, the windows line will read (something like) /dev/hda1 * 1 1217 9775521 b HPFS/NTFS this should tell you that your windows partition is /dev/hda1 (if you are using SATA disks this may be /dev/sda1) 2) make sure you have the NTFS drivers installed rpm -qa | grep kernel-module-ntfs if this comes back with an answer a bit like kernel-module-ntfs-2.6.14-1.1656_FC4 (there may be more/different numbers in your output) then you do have the necessary drivers if you don't, install them as I mentioned in my last post. 3) create a directory to attach (mount) your windows filesystem: mkdir /mnt/windows 4) attempt to mount your windows filesystem: mount -t ntfs -o ro /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows (substitute the correct partition for /dev/hda1) 5) if you want this automatically done each time you boot into FC4 add a line to /etc/fstab that looks like this /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs ro 0 0 Regards Stuart
