How to mount a Windows partition and a USB drive

1. Supports NTFS partitions

If your Windows partition is formatted with NTFS, you can do this by compiling the kernel in order to enable Linux to support NTFS, but the easiest way is to install the NTFS-enabled RPM package.

Right-click and select here to open the terminal in the shortcut menu. Enter UNAME-A in the Terminal view kernel version

To http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/rpm/redhat9.html download the corresponding kernel of RPM, my rh9 is kernel-ntfs-2.4.20-8.i686.rpm. Enter in the terminal

Code:

RPM-IVH kernel-ntfs-2.4.20-8.i686.rpm

Can. (RPM is the command to install the RPM package, parameter I is to display the information about the software package, V to show the command to execute the process, h for the package installation when the mark is listed)

2. Mount Windows partition

In the partitioning representation of Linux, HDD for HD, first hard drive for HDA, second for HDB. A hard drive can be divided into four primary partitions, DOS primary partitions, DOS extended partitions, Linux root partitions and Linux swap partitions are primary partitions, and 4 primary partitions are represented by numbers. If it's the first hard drive, Hda1,hda2,hda3 and hda4. You can also divide logical partitions on the extended partition, and the labels are sorted from 5 to the next. In Windows C disk is a DOS primary partition, is the hda1,d disk is generally the first logical partition on the DOS extended partition, is the HDA5, E is hda6,f for HDA7 and so on. Under Linux, you can mount a Windows partition to a folder (this folder is called a mount point), and then you can access Windows partitions through this folder, just like a shortcut.

If C disk is mounted

First create a new directory in the/mnt/directory Winc

In the terminal input

Code:

Mount-t Vfat/dev/hda1/mnt/winc-o codepage=936 iocharset=936

(Where-T is the specified device file system, VFAT represents the Windows FAT16 and FAT32 file system format,-o specifies options for loading the file system, and option codepage=936 iocharset= 936 is to enable Linux to properly display the Mount partition in Chinese)

If you want to automatically load Windows partitions every time you turn on, you can modify the Fstab file under/etc/, in the form

Code:

/dev/hda1/mnt/winc VFAT defaults,codepage=936,iocharset=cp936

Restart after saving.

My fstab content is as follows

Code:

LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb2 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0
/dev/sda1 /mnt/usb vfat noauto 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/winc ntfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/wind vfat defaults,codepage=936,iocharset=cp936 0 0
/dev/hda6 /mnt/wine vfat defaults,codepage=936,iocharset=cp936 0 0
/dev/hda7 /mnt/winf ntfs defaults 0 0

Also, use the mount-t iso9660-o loop name. ISO mount points can be used directly with ISO files, while 8 requires virtual optical drives like Windows.
