Connect the harddisk to the system Find out which device it is (hda = Primary master, hdb= Primary Slave, hdc = secondary master, hdd = sec. slave etc) Find out what partition you want (fdisk /dev/hdx; p; q) Or if you have the file /proc/partitions check that file. Mount the partition, if it is a windows filesystem use either ntfs or vfat. mount /dev/hdx1 /mnt -t vfat See the 'mount', 'fdisk' and 'mount.vfat' manual pages -- Mark Janssen -- maniac(at)maniac.nl -- GnuPG Key Id: 357D2178 Unix / Linux, Open-Source and Internet Consultant @ SyConOS IT Maniac.nl Unix-God.Net|Org MarkJanssen.org|nl SyConOS.com|nl
