Do you know what physical partition your E: disk is? Is it a logical
partition on HDA? A separate disk?
In case you are on mdk 7.1, you should be able to pull the files from
/mnt/WIN_e/linux.
Otherwise you will need to figure out what partition your E: disk is on,
run the "mount" command and see what directory it is mounted on.
If there is nothing there, go to /mnt, create a directory
(e.g. diske) and, as root, do mount /dev/hd<where_drive_e_is> /mnt/diske
Then you can copy the files from /mnt/diske/linux to the linux partition.
Hope this helps. If not, dump a listing of "mount" here, perhaps that
helps. You can do that by " mount > /tmp/dump" and pulling "dump" into a
mail (or copy it by hand).
