still looking for my 2nd drive
Ok, in my syste, I have 2 hard drives,
windows on partition 1 of drive 1 Linux on partition 2 of drive 1. Then I have a 8 GB drive windows can see, FAT32. I am trying to find this drive inside Linux. I know I will probably have to mount it, but not sure how.

If the Fat 32 drive you are trying to mount is the 2nd Physical hard drive. on the 1st ide, (both drives are ide), then the drive is /dev/hdb If it is also, the only partition on that physical drive then the partition is /dev/hdb1 If this is the case, and the drive already existed when you installed linux, it may already be mounted. If this is Mandrake, it probably already exists as a directory in the /mnt set of directories. Otherwise, you create a directory and issue a mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/WhaterYouCalledIt . Did this answer the question?

OK
First make sure what your second hardrive is called (probably something like hdb1). Now you want to make a directory called /mnt/windows or something. (mkdir /mnt/windows) Then you do the mount command (I think this is it): mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/windows -t vfat If that works and you want an auto mounting drive, use an editor lie xedit or emacs and open /etc/fstab then add: /dev/hda2 /mnt/windows vfat defaults 0 0 HTH mindwave_21 Last edited by mindwave_21; 11-22-2002 at 02:11 PM. |
