1) How do you view all partitions on the disk including windows partitions.
2) Is there any way to mount an ntfs partition from unix.

I am using SCO UnixWare 7.1.1.
Remeber, life is what you make it.
 
1. You can use "df -v" to view all mounted partitions. I am using OpenServer 505/506 but I think "df" is the same among all UNIX OS.

2. Pls refer to your system man page on the command mount, type "man mount". I have exp on Linux to mount a FAT32 partition, it is "mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/C". It may give you an idea but won't be the same in UnixWare. So pls man mount, it will also tell you which filesystems it supports.

Hope these help you.
 
I do it on linux with no problem but have not been able to view windows DOS partitions form UNIX. I will try the man mount however - I was trying man partitions, why didn't I think of mount. But I will try it and let you know if it works. Thanks. Remeber, life is what you make it.
 
most expected is no ntfs partition is view able in unix
as in linux because linux is clone of unix and hence extend the capabilities of unix, so don't try to mount ntfs it may
crash ur system/
 
use divvy to see what partitions are on the disk
