Deathtrap staggered into the Black Sun and said:
I installed Windows XP and Linux (Red Hat) on the same machine. Is
there a way I can read the [NTFS or FAT, you didn't say which]
partition from Linux? When I look at the drive [in] linux, [it] only
shows the linux partition.
You need to put a line for the 'Doze partition in /etc/fstab .
Specifics depend on where the 'Doze partition is and which kind of disk
it's on. This is usually /dev/sda1 or /dev/hda1 , modify to taste
according to what you get from fdisk -l .
Read-write on FAT:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/windoze vfat noauto,users,umask=000 0 0
Read-write on NTFS, requires installing ntfs-3g and the FUSE kernel
modules. This *may* not be n00b-friendly depending on distro. Using
type ntfs instead will give you read-only access:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/windoze ntfs-3g noauto,users,umask=000 0 0
....note that /mnt/windoze must exist and must be a directory. The
mountpoint can be anywhere you like, though usually you keep them under
/mnt for sanity. With these fstab lines, ordinary users can mount and
umount the partitions at will. HTH,
