red hat linux 7...need help with xmms

How can I access my windows folders so that I can load the mp3s which are on my other partitions?

In linux, you have to mount driver/partitions before you use them (like you would type "mount /dev/cdrom" to use a CD). You need to have the partition mounted. You will need a mount point though (like /win or /fat32). There are tools somewhere on the install CD, but I dont remember which. I doubt you want to edit the fstab, but if you do, see the /dev/hda1 /fat32 line? That does the mount. I don't know if it makes the mount point for you or not (I'm in windows right now so I can't check)

Here is my /etc/fstab (sorry it wont space right):
LABEL=/ / ext2 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda1 /fat32 vfat defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,ro 0 0
/dev/cdrom1 /mnt/cdrom1 iso9660 noauto,owner,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
/dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0
