Access Windows Partition Mandriva

[ren-lex]

Hi, i first had SUSE linux 10.1 and it was cool but then i wanted to try another distro so i installed Mandriva One 2007 (Live CD) i actually installed it... so the problem with this distro is that i don't know how to access to my windows partition like i always did with SUSE, in SUSE you can see a folder named 'Windows' and there you can see the whole windows partition, but in Mandriva i couldn't find such folder!

you need to install or set up samba in mandriva, suse probely had done this for you automaticly during the setup

No, ren-lex needs to mount the partition.

[devils casper]

execute 'fdisk -l' command in terminal/konsole and check the names of Windows Partitions.
create mount point and mount partitions.

mkdir /media/win_c
mount  -t   <file_system>   /dev/<partition>  /media/win_c

replace <file_system> with vfat for NTFS and ntfs for NTFS.
check /media/win_c folder after executing mount command. you must be root to execute all these commands.
in case, you couldn't mount, post the output of 'fdisk -l' command here.
