Wow! A question I can answer? Have I misunderstood the question? I thought that I was destined to only ever ASK questions. A red letter day. Break open the champagne.
Robert/Maurice Fisher asked: > Now that we have got to this point I want to copy our pictures and music > back to the Fat partition that we created on the second drive. Windows > no longer sees the second hard drive. No, but Mandrake sees ALL the drives. Via the GUI go to Konquerer via 'Home'. Open 'Root Directory'. Open 'mnt' (mount); and CD, diskette (floppy), and ALL drives/partitions can be seen. See attachment. (I probably have a 'c-2' as well as a c: as that's a separate drive with W3.1 on it.) Now it's only a case of dragging files from one place to t'other, as you might have in Windoze. Just a cautionary note - a single mouse-click opens a file so you need to click and drag without releasing the mouse button. I can't recall how one selects a 'range' of files - maybe via a right-click - but you can drag a whole DIR across and it will take all the files with it. Don't worry about CTL, as you might have in Windoze to differentiate between moving and copying, because Mandrake asks whether you want to move or copy before doing the action. (I've had success moving between Linux/Windows DIRS but when I drag a file onto the diskette in this manner my mouse pointer disappears and the machine locks up. Only a power off/on gets me going again. Quite frustrating when trying to copy a number of files for transfer to this PC.) I hope that answers the question without going into the CLI. Peter.
