It is not clear to me what you mean by "work". If you fix your fstab entry like Andrei has explained then you will be able to access the files on the Windows partition from Linux. You will not be able to run your Windows applications under Linux directly. > I > really only need it for dragon naturally speaking and cdex. I haven't > tried grip yet. Dragon Naturally Speaking and CDex seem to be windows-only applications. Can you still use these applications under Windows right now? When you start the computer you should get a menu which gives you the choice to boot either Linux or Windows. Does this work or do you need help with getting Windows to boot again? To actually run Windows applications under Linux, you can try installing wine (which is packaged in Debian). Wine is an implementation of the Windows API under Linux. How well it works changes from one application to another. Here is what they say on their website about the two programs that you mentioned: http://www.google.com/search?q=dragon&domains=www.winehq.org&sitesearch=www.winehq.org http://www.google.com/search?q=cdex&domains=www.winehq.org&sitesearch=www.winehq.org Another option is using a VM (virtual machine, a software emulation of a whole computer system) and installing Windows and these applications in the VM environment. Is that what you want to do? -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
