I dualbooted Redhat6.2/win98SE, i first had mandrake 6.1 and i saw, read, and wrote over the Dos partitions one of them was called DOS_hda5, last night i upgrade it to redhat6.2 so i have Redhat6.2/win98SE like i said, the problem is that i cant access Dos paritions now.

what can i do? should i mount dos paritions? how can i see these paritions and write and read from them?


Note : I'm really a neeeewwwbiiiiie in linux stuf so please on't get too techy.... thanx 😉
 
mkdir /mnt/win
mount -t vfat /dev/hdXX /mnt/win

replace the XX with the appropriate characters for your windows partition

should work fine..you might also want to edit your /etc/fstab and make an entry for it in there if you want it mounted all the time
 
Azeroth,

Mandrake is a modified Redhat distribution. Their original modification is the supermount patch. This patch automounts the windows and cdrom drives. Redhat does not include this patch so you must manually mount the non ext2 partitions in the method that Soybomb has told you.
