-   Greetings my fellow Linuxtonians!:)

I was just wondering...I have Win98 on one HD and Linux on another but I never selected the dual boot option. How do I create a mount point so that I can access Windows from Linux?. Do I do something like: mkdir /mnt/hdd0?

- Thanks

-   Yes. You can do 'mkdir /mnt/windows' and then edit /etc/fstab and create a new
entry. Or you can simply start 'diskdrake' as root, click on the partition you want to
mount, set the mount point and tell it to write to your /etc/fstab

I would recommend using /mnt/windows, just to stay in line with how Mandrake
refers to it if you select dual boot during install.
