Reading Windows Partitions

[TRN]

Do the following at a linux prompt.

Create a directory called /win
mkdir /win

Mount the windows partition in /win directory.
mount -t vfat /dev/hdx /win (change x to correct designation)

You can access your windows partition by typing.
cd /win

This won't work with NTFS filesystems which are common with Windows versions based on the NT kernel.
It is the easiest to completely leave out '-t vfat', in most cases the correct filesystem type will be autodetected then.

Good point ;)
