I am dual booting Windows XP and Linux Red Hat and would like to see the XP partions from Linux . How can i do this ? I don't think it is mount cos I am only able to mount the cd and floppy.
First, locate the XP partition(s). Use '[tt]fdisk -l[/tt]' to list all your partitions. Whichever one(s) are of type NTFS, that's XP.
For each one of type NTFS, do a '[tt]mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/winxp -t ntfs[/tt]'. NOTE: replace /dev/hda1 with your actual XP partition, and replace /mnt/winxp with where you want it mounted (I use /mnt/winxp for the system partition/C:, and windocs for the Documents and Settings directory located on a second hard drive).
If you get a 'filesystem not supported' type error, it means your kernel was compiled without NTFS support. There's a pile of posts and howto's related to compiling your kernel, so I won't go into it here. Just hit
