Mount a WIN 2k(NTSF) Drive in Linux
« on: 9 March 2002, 12:14 »
I'm trying to mount a Win drive in Linux.  My master drive is the windows with 2 partions on it.  My secondary drive has no partions on it and has Linux installed.  I'm new to linux so please be detailed.  I tried "mount /dev/hda1" and all I get is a error "mount: mount point /windows/C does not exist"

If you can help please reply!!!!!

In advance thanks for the help everyone.

In your /etc/fstab file you must have /dev/hda1 set up to mount on /windows/C directory.  The message you are getting indicates that the mount directory does not exist.  You need to create that directory. Remember, *NIX is case sensitive on directory and file names, the message shows an upper case "c", the directory must indeed be "/windows/C".

Do a "mkdir -p /windows/C" as root and then try to mount again, should be good to go (assuming you also have the file system type set right in your /etc/fstab and your kernel is compiled to support that file system type).
