    Last night I did a fresh install of 9 from 8.2. Before I installed I
    backed up my /home directory to my windows drive (1.2GB in size). After
    the install I decided to get some stuff from my backup and when I tried
    to open it (I tar'd it), I got a notice saying the file doesn't exist.

    Now when I backed it up, I did the following "tar -czvf
    /mnt/windows/C/tmp/backup.zip /home/tom" When I look at my windows
    drive, I can see the file in there and the size is 1.2gb. I have another
    zip file which I did of my /srv directory and I can't access that
    either.

    My new fstab of the windows drive says it mounts to /windows/C while my
    old fstab has it at /mnt/windows/C. Could that be my problem? I also
    transfered a couple single files into the same location and those work
    fine...although they were not tar'd.

    Anyone have any thoughts?????

    Thanks,
    Tom
