Hi,
You can try the following :- 1) Type fdisk -l (as a super user) 2) Note down the hda partition of your windows ( usually it is hda1 if you are having dual boot with windows88 or any other os ) 3) Make a directory in the /mnt directory named windows (or any other name you like) with the command mkdir. 4) Then give the command mount -t vfat /dev/hdax /mnt/windows where hdax stands for the partition number ie hda1 , hda2 etc and /windows is the directory you have made in the /mnt directory
This should work fine. If you want the windows partition to be mounted always when you boot to linux , you would have to make an entry in the /etc/fstab file.Type man fstab for more information regarding the same.
Bye.
