You should be able to see it from mandrake, cd = change directories, /mnt/win_c/=first windows partition on mine (cd /mnt && ls to find yours), cp = copy, -r = recursive (descend into directory), -f = force (don't confirm). So an example: cp -rf /mnt/win_c/Archives/mp3 /home/s/ (that would copy my mp3 folder from the Archives on windows C:\ to my linux home directory) or cd /mnt/win_c/Archives/mp3 (to change to that directory) and ls (list what's in that directory for browsing) or ls -hal (list all, even hidden, and attributes in human friendly terms) > > Thanks in advance.... hth. > Bear -s
