Hi, I'm a new Red Hat user and want to mount
my winxp partition. How do I display all the
partitions, Win/Dos/Linux, in one place so I can
give mount the correct partition name?
Thank you,
Chris

To look at all the partitions on one physical disk, you use "fdisk" pointed
to the physical device for the drive. or example, if your drive is the IDE
primary master, use "fdisk /dev/hda". Once in fdisk, choose "p" to "print"
(actually, to display onscreen) the list of partitions and their associated
device names. Then "q" to quit without saving. You'll need to be root to
run fdisk.
If you have several hard disks, you need to do each separately, following
this pattern
IDE primary master /dev/hda
IDE primary slave /dev/hdb
IDE secondary master /dev/hdc
IDE secondary slave /dev/hdd

You might already have heard of fdisk. It is a tool to partition your hard
disks and also in fact the easiest way to see what partition is of what
type and has what number/name.
To call fdisk for your primary IDE slave call "fdisk /dev/hda" and you
will get something like this:
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hda1 1 9688 4882720+ 83 Linux
/dev/hda2 * 9689 48440 19531008 7 HPFS/NTFS
/dev/hda3 48441 158816 55629504 83 Linux
(For example for your second SCSI disk it would be "fdisk /dev/sdb")
Here you can see that my windows partition is /dev/hda2 is of type NTFS.
To mount it you'll need an empty directory (e.g. /windows or /mnt/win) and
the necessary file system support for you kernel (in my case NTFS).
Then "mount <device> <mount directory>". In my case this looks like:
"mount /dev/hda2 /windows"
Have fun,
Axel

Thank you...
Now I feel like I should have known to look there 1st. Duh.
Hopefully I won't be a newbie too long...

There is a small error of detail in axel's reply. He writes:
>To call fdisk for your primary IDE slave call "fdisk /dev/hda" and you
>will get something like this:
/dev/hda is the IDE primary *master*, not the IDE primary *slave* (which is
/dev/hdb).

Works for me. However, I'm using a Slackware distribution.

OK...now that I can see all my partitions, how do I mount an NTFS
partition?
When I try, I receive the error "fs now supported by kernel."
I'm running Red Hat 8.0 (sorry, no idea what the kernel version is - how
do I find this info?).
Can the kernel be patched to support NTFS?
Thank you,
Chris

I suspect it says "not" rather than "now". (Sorry to seem picky, and the
mistake is easy to spot here, but in troubleshooting, details matter, and a
seemling harmless mistake in reporting error messages can lead to the wrong
diagnosis.)
And I'm assuming your try consists of a command like "mount -t ntfs
/dev/hdXX /mnt/some_mount_point", with suitable choices for XX and
some_mount_point .If not, plase tell us the exact command you enter and the
exact error you get.

"uname -a" normally reports it.
>Can the kernel be patched to support NTFS?
Probably ... though it does depend on the kernel version, RH8 is unlikely
to use an old kernel by default. Recent kernels support read-only access to
NTFS filesystems. If yours has the ntfs.o moule compiled, you can add it
with "insmod ntfs" or (better) "modprobe ntfs". If it doesn't come with
that module, you'll need to compile or get a kernel that does have it
(either the module or actuallt compiled into the kernel).

Try /sbin/modprobe ntfs
a stock distro kernel may already have it.

Yep, I meant "not" not "now." It was a tpyo.
As far as compiling a kernel goes, I don't believe I'm ready for that. I'm
still at the
point of staring at the PC for 20 minutes, and banging away on the keyboard
for another
20 minutes, trying to accomplish something, before giving up and looking in
my "dummies" book.
Thanks for your help,
Chris
