Today at 1:58pm, Paul K. Landers expounded:

++      I have a couple of AMD K-6 machines set to daul-boot
++ Mandrake7/win98. On the '98 side there are two partitions (c: and d:),
++ while Man7 runs from another drive.
++      What i'de like to do is have the d: drive as a common space 'twix
++ the two os's. I Can mount the c: drive from the Linux side(mount -t
++ vfat...), but when i try to mount the d: partition i get the "wrong file
++ type, bad superblock, or to many file systems..." error.
++      It goes on to ask if i'm not trying to mount an extended partition,
++ rather than a logical partition inside it?
++      Which i may be, but i don't know how to proceed?
++      mount -t vfat hda1 (etc)        mounts the c: partition
++ thankyouverymuch
++      mount -t vfat hda2 (etc)        chokes
++      What am i missing?                              pkl

Please send a copy of the output of the `p' (print) command for fdisk
/dev/hda .

D: does not necessarily map to hda2. You could also just try hda3-5.
