mount /dev/ /mnt/win98. the filesystem type will be autodetected and it will be mounted.
if not, check out what type of file system you are using for your windows partition. check if it appears in /proc/filesystems. if not, then you need to recompile your kernel to include support for that file system. and then mount.

Enough information about accessing Windows files in Linux by now, I guess :) The other way, accessing Linux files in Windows, is a bit more tricky. Windows isn't equipped with modules to read filesystems that weren't made in Redmond, so you'll need a piece of third-party software. I tried one years ago, but I forgot the name.
It's hard to imagine there will be very much stuff in Linux that you need to access from Windows. I generally just make sure that I use the dos partition for any files that are likely to be used both places. In fact on dual boot Linux/Windows XP systems where both operating systems have their proprietary filesystems, I create a 3rd partition of type vfat that is then accessible to both operating systems.
hi, here you go. the ext2 driver for windows. i have used this and have accessed my linux files on window but dont use it on a regular basis. too critical data on my linux box to try anything funny. but it works. http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/ext2ifs.htm hth -balaji
