One way is to run a file manager, or Konquorer under KDE, go to root/mnt/ ,if your system is set up to mount other drives you will see something that discribes your windows drive, you may have to be root to access it
1. Create a mountpoint for the Window$ drive/partition under the/mnt directory:
Code:
mkdir /mnt/windows
2. Mount the Win drive/partition to the newly created mount point. Assuming that Win lives on the first partition of the first (primary master) drive, it would be called hda1:
Code:
mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows
3. Enter the Win directory, and list/view the contents:
Code:
cd /mnt/windows
ls -ACF
To automatically mount the drive at bootup, add the following line to your /etc/fstab file (I might not have the syntax quite right here):
Code:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat user,rw,noauto, 0 0
There are other options you can specify on this line, man mount for more info.
Press Alt + F2 and type 'usermount' without the quotes. That will bring up the dialogue for mounting and unmounting. Then do as Joncla said unless you have short cut links on the desktop.
