1. Know which partition on what disk it is (f.i. /dev/hda3)
2. Try mounting it manually (mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/dos). Don't forget to make
the directory /mnt/dos beforehand.
3. Add a line to /etc/fstab which will make it easier for you later on:
/dev/hda3   /mnt/dos    auto   user,noauto   0 0

Now you should be able to mount your WinME-partition with "mount /mnt/dos".

mount -t vfat /dev/hdaX /mnt/win_Drive
 
 
 

1. Mounting Windows HD?

I've set up a dual boot system with Win98 on a 13G master and RH 6.0
on an 8GB slave on the primary driver.  LILO works fine, and I can
boot into either system.  But I can't figure out how to access the
data on the Windows drive from Linux.  In the /dev directory, I see
hda0 through 18 or so.  When I run "mount -t vfat /dev/hda* /mnt" in
which * is any of the numbers, I get an error message to the effect
that I'm trying to mount a whole partition or something with a
question about how maybe I want to get an underlying partition (sorry,
I should have written it down--I'm writing this message from the
Windows side, so I can't replicate it quickly).

Anyway.  How can I correlate all of the hda* devices with the logical
drives or folders in Windoze, and how to I mount them?  I couldn't
find anything about this in the how-to's.
