[TriLUG] Mounting other partitions

[Jason Tower]

if you make the dedicated data partition fat32 (NOT ntfs) you should have
no trouble using it with either OS.  i would create and format the data
partition using w2k, copy some files to it, then mount it from linux using
the command 'mount -t vfat /dev/hda6 /data' substituting the appropriate
values for hda and data, and see if you can read them.
