Niraj, You can't mount a extended partition instead you can mount a logical partition in that extended right ?
Check few things:- fdisk -l e.g Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 10 80293+ 83 Linux /dev/hda2 11 647 5116702+ 83 Linux /dev/hda3 648 3463 22619520 83 Linux /dev/hda4 3464 4865 11261565 f Win95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hda5 3464 4100 5116671 83 Linux /dev/hda6 4101 4737 5116671 83 Linux /dev/hda7 4738 4864 1020096 82 Linux swap here clearly i do have extended partition as hda4 (see the Start & End blocks) created from fdisk of windows.In that i do have logical partions as hda5, hda6 & hda7 of linux. In your particular case you need to do mkdir /c mount -t msdos /dev/hdaX /c Regards, -Yash ----- Original Message ----- From: "Niraj P Garg" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, January 22, 2004 3:39 PM Subject: [LIH]Mounting extended partition. > I have a dual boot machiene with three partitions.
