Hi friends,
Im new to linux and want to access my two fat32 partitions in my redhat 7.2 installed in the same hard drive. My partition tables and fstab contents are mentioned below. Kindly let me know which files to edit to get these partitions mounted in linux, and do i have any options to access linux partitions in win98.
Device start, end, system /dev/hda1, 1, 487, win95 fat32 /dev/hda2 , 488, 2438, win95 ext'd (lba) /dev/hda5, 488, 974, win95 fat32 /dev/hda6, 975, 1947, win95 fat32 /dev/hda7, 1948, 1950, linux /dev/hda8, 1951, 1983, linux swap /dev/hda9, 1984, 2438, linux
create the two directories by issuing the command $ mkdir /mnt/winc /mnt/wind (as a super user)
fstab label=/ ,/, ext3, defaults, 1 1 label=/boot, /boot, ext3, defaults,1 2 none, /dev/pts, devpts, gid=5, mode=620",0 0 none ,/proc, proc, defaults,0 0 none, /dev/shm ,tmpfs, defaults,0 0 /dev/hda8 ,swap, swap, defaults,0 0 /dev/fd0, /mnt/floppy, auto , noauto.owner.kudzu,0 0
at the end of the fstab file enter the following entries...
/dev/hda1 /mnt/winc vfat defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/wind vfat defaults 0 0
thats all ...when u boot ur machine next time ... you will be able to access ur win98 partitions in Linux ... under /mnt folder ..
regards
