sylvainb2000 : 08/07/02 05:50 PM : Incident created -   I just bought a Mandrake 8.2 box recently and I'm just starting to find my way around. Now I would like to start doing something productive using Linux. But how do I access my files on my Windows partition? I have tons of graphics, music and other work there that I would like to be able to use to get started in Linux. I found something about Samba in the User's Manual, but this is for accessing remote machines. I just need to access my files on the Windows partition that is on the same hard drive. This is probably a very dumb question for you guys, but I still haven't found the answer...

We all began this journey at the same point. ----- Note: If this answer resolves your problem, please remember to close this incident.

And as linegod says we all begun the same way. hope this helps too. please remember to close this incident.
