mount

[mario]

i have linux red hat 7.3 installed on my primary hard drive. the problem is that i can't mount second hard drive on wich i have winXP installed with fat 32 file system
i tried mount -t vfat /dev/hdc/dir command but it's not working please help..

This is the command...

mount -t vfat /dev/hdc /mount_point

You have to specify a mount point in your Linux filesystem (/mnt/win for example). I don't think that you can mount a directory without mounting the entire drive first, but I could be wrong.

1: create a dir where you later want your win partition in:
eg: mkdir /windows
2: mount it:
mount -t vfat /dev/hdc /windows

hdc? why not hdb0? The quickest way to become an old dog is to stop learning new tricks.

Depends on whether the "second hard drive" is the primary slave or the secondary master.

hda = pri master
hdb = pri slave
hdc = sec master
hdd = sec slave

I have a similar problem ... I have a 5.25" floppy that Linux Mandrake 7.2 is completely ignoring. Any ideas? --Dan Hirsch
