It worked just fine. All the partitions are now mounted automatically on startup. Thank you very much for your help

Hello again, The website you referred me to was very helpful and contained easy to follow instructions. I successfully mounted all FAT32 and Linux partitions (except the swap partition). As you expect, my Kernel did not support the NTFS partition. I was able to see and read the files on the mounted partitions, however I don't seem to be able to write to these partition (I can't paste a file in them for example) when I am logged in not as a root. I tried to set the permissions as a root to allow others read, write, and execute, but every time I click on the check box it goes blank again. I am not sure what i am doing wrong here. The other thing you suggested was doing automount on startup. Could you tell me how? THanks for your help.

Thanks for your response. My Windows XP is installed on a FAT32 formatted partition. It's more important to me to learn how to access the FAT32 partitions at this time because that's where my files are. I don't know if my kernel version supports NTFS access or not (I am new to this you know). In any case the kernel version that I get out of the command "uname -r" is 2.4.20-8. By the way, when I go to disk management all I can see in the list is the CD ROM drives, Zip drive, and floppy disk drives. I don't think that Linux did an automatic set up of links to the drives because when I installed it I did manual partition and formatting of the Linux partiotions. again thanks for your help.

I am a new Linux user. I have RedHat Linux 9.0. I need some help knowing how to access my files on a second hard drive partitioned and formated as FAT32 & NTFS and running windows xp. Also I can't access a partition on the same hard drive that is running Linux. Thank you.
