mounting fat32 on ext3

lamrinnirmal · 26-02-2005, 02:01 PM

i remember seeing this thread..... and i tried to look for it but dint find it .......it was'nt mentioned in GNUrags -"These topics have been covered"

anyways i wanted to mount my mp3's onto my red hat. i entered the below code in the CLI

mkdir /mnt/win
mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/win

and i got my c drive contents in the /mnt/win directory!
now if i want to mount my d drive contents , how do i?
what about a second (slave) hdd and its respective partitions.

it will be hda3 i.e. just replace hda1 with hda3 and use another mount point like /mnt/d-drive

regarding ur second hdd , if its primary slave , it should be given as /dev/hdb# (# order of partition in that disk)

primary master : /dev/hda
primary slave : /dev/hdb
secondary master : /dev/hdc
secondary slave : /dev/hdd

To know more abt your partitions in linux

Code:

fdisk /dev/hda
enter p (or may be m) for the partition table
