Try

mkdir /win
mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /win

and if you want the dos/win*partition available at boot time read the
man page for fstab.....

I have recently installed linix on the second partition of my secondary
drive I think this is
hdc2
Anyway what I want to be able to do is access files from dos/win95 when
running in Linux. I have been unable to locate anything in the how tos and
other online resources

I obviously have to use the mount command but Im not sure what else

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Thanks Tony Hilton

Thou shall not create new folders in "/"
Please see the file system standard why this is a bad idea.

Use e.g. mkdir /mnt/cdrive instead
