saxblue : 30/07/03 06:54 AM : Incident created -   Hello, I recently installed Mandrake Linux 9.1 and am trying to add a hard drive partition on my external drive to use for sharing files between Win XP Pro and Linux (dual boot). If anyone could walk me throught the process of configuring and mounting the drive so I can read and write to it, I would greatly appreciate it. I have tried doing it on my own but I can't seem to get it right. Thanks! saxblue

Select the mount point (you can call it anything, like '/share'). Then click 'mount' and select done. Say yes when it asks to save the changes to /etc/fstab. ------- Note: If this answer resolves your problem, please remember to close this incident.
saxblue : 30/07/03 07:53 AM : More info provided -   I used diskdrake to create the new drive and selected the mountpoint as /winlinuxshar. However, when I tried to create a new text file on the drive I got the error message "access denied- could not write to /winlinuxshar".
