# cd /mnt; mkdir da1
# alias win+='mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/da1; cd /mnt/da1; ls -aF --color=auto'
# alias win-='cd; umount /mnt/da1'
-------------------------------------
# win+ (this should show all your Win files--
you can move/copy data back and forth
between Linux and Win and more)
Be sure after you're finished:
# win-
I have these two aliases plus many more in /root/.bashrc .
Very handy to access other OS, CDROM, floppies, Zipdisks
with a simple command, like (examples) wflop+ or lflop+
+ to access and - to exit.

I am trying to read the Windows filesystems on my linux/W98/XP system. Despite reusing the same entries I had in Potato in addition to those generated by Woody, and checking google re ntfs entries, I am unable to see those Windows filesystems, even the W98 filesystems I read on the same drive under Woody
When I manually try to mount them, for example, ?mount ?a?, I get mount point /c does not exist and same for /d and /e
Similarly, these entries do not show up in /etc/mtab
Here is my /etc fstab entries:
/dev/hda1 /c vfat defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 / ext2 errors=remount-ro
/dev/hda6 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hda8 /d vfat defaults 0 0
/dev/hde1 /e ntfs ro,auto,owner 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/fd0 /floppy auto user,noauto 0 0
/dev/cdrom /cdrom iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0
