I multiboot: Win98, Mandrake 8.1, Mandrake Cooker, Redmond and sometimes
ELX.
I recently had to reinstall Win98 because of disk corruption following a
lightning strike. Since then an old problem has resurfaced:
I mount my Win partitions in fstab like this:
/dev/hde1 /mnt/win/c vfat \
user,exec,iocharset=iso8859-15,umask=0,codepage=850 0 0
Now /mnt/win/c/Program Files and the windows folders show empty.
It happened before - long time ago and I can't remember how I fixed it.
I've tried fiddling with regedit in a native Win session. The same thing
happens in all the distros so I guess it must be something in the win
setup.
I've just booted into native win98 in DOS mode and removed the system
flags from Program Files and win, but that hasn't made any difference
either. The annoying thing is that samba can see everything (from
another machine) but I can't very well use smbmount in fstab for a
partition on the same PC - or can I?
Ideas?
