| There are two ways to partition a Windows partition(any type) on Linux... One is the old way of manually typing the comand or by using Fstab... But, before we can actually mount, we must get to know the partitions we have on our System For that... 1. First print the partition table... $fdisk /dev/hd_ where _ = a/b (diff hdd altogether) :p you will get the partition table printed... I have assumed we have three partitions. hda1,hda2,hda3 The Traditional mount way... 2. Create the directories where you want to mount the partitions... Here, we have old Linux users saying we should use /mnt But, modern users approve /media I have created the directories /media/c /media/d and /media/e cd /media <return> mkdir <c/d/e> <return> 3. Now to mount... Type... mount /hda/dev1 /media/c mount /hda/dev2 /media/d mount /hda/dev3 /media/e Tada.. Your win partition is ready to work upon!!! And now for the fstab method... 2. goto /etc cd /etc 3. Enter super user mode... and edit the fstab file (su<return> followed by command in red hat and some others.. and sudo <comand> <return> in debian derivatives) I follow the debian way.. sudo vi fstab 4. enter the following code in the last... Code: /dev/hda1 /media/c <vfat/ntfs><tab>unmask=022<tab>0<tab>0 /dev/hda2 /media/d <vfat/ntfs><tab>unmask=022<tab>0<tab>0 /dev/hda3 /media/e <vfat/ntfs><tab>unmask=022<tab>0<tab>0 That's it for now.. 3njoy!!! |
