VIEWING AND CHANGING W2K/LINUX PARTITION'S IN LINUX

[bill2000]

I have several different linux's and one partition with w2k on 2 different hard drive's and i am wondering how i can see and manipulate my windows(especially) and linux partion in linux(red hat 7).

You have to edit the /etc/fstab file to reflect where your linux and windows partitions are. They are probably on /dev/hdc3 or /dev/hda4, something like that. You need to simply add them to the etc/fstab file and they'll mount automatically. I don't know if you'll be able to see your 2k partitions, though, Linux may not know how to read that format. So, to mount a partition, create a directory on the root, or whatever, called /msdos, then, you do add an entry inthe fstab file to mount the filesystem there.

Type man fstab from a terminal window for more information on the fstab file

Good luck. As always, I hope that helped!

try out partion magic for linux it free and you can do it in there

Yeah, that will allow you to re-size them ,but it won't let you mount a W2k partition under Linux, will it? Did you read the post or just the subject? As always, I hope that helped!
