hi
first thing is never write the subject of email like
this.it does not convey any meaning.you have problem
of accessing win drives..so type "how to mount win
drives in gnu/linux" ...--------> just telling,don't
feel bad.
1.first login as some user..
2.type command " su" --this will ask for root
password..write it.
Now you have root access.
3.create C,D,E,F(or whatever you want) directories in
the "/mnt/" directory.
4.goto " /etc/" directory.
open "fstab" file in vi or any other text editor.
edit the fstab
1st column : /dev/hda1 (hda1/2/3/4/5 ...for ur win
drives)
2nd column: corresponding folders i.e
/dev/hda3 for /mnt/C
and so on..
3rd column: vfat --(file system of win)
4th column: "auto"---> means the mounting is done
automatically when booting..you need not mount them
manually always..
5th column: "0 0" -->access
rights.
if you create C directory in /mnt/ and if you have
your C drive as hda3 then type it like this
/dev/hda3 /mnt/C vfat auto 0 0
when the first time you write and save this file..the
mounting is not done..only for the first time its like
that...best thing is after you save the file.restart
the system and when it reboots the drives will be
loaded automatically..
what happens is fstab creates a soft link for the
drives.
creating /mnt/directory_name is really a soft link.
may be this might be helpful...
thanks :)
