Hi,
Thanks to everyone for the help. I set it up this way and I use GNOME right
now. Like I said with RH6.2 running on computer. what I did was make a an
entry in the mnt folder called /win. Then with the advice of everyone here I
mounted it in Linux. this is the exact command I used:
mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/win
That worked perfect and let me access my DOS partiton. Now how do I get this
to automount everytime I start RH? So I don't have to type in that command at
the prompt. Thanks for the help again
