[Sderby] Accessing Windows partitions

[Mini Mike]

Ian,

Not quite sure what you've tried.  How do you mean it aknoledges that the=
=20
partitions are there?  Have you tried to mount them?  If not, then get a=20
shell and su to root.  Next, issue the command:

# mount -t vfat <device> <mount point>

Where <device> is /dev/ device file eg. /dev/hda5 and <mount point is the=
=20
directory to mount to eg /mnt/C.  Make sure that this directory exists.

Mike.
