Problem with (Test -f ) command

[Saurabh0008]

hi,
i was trying to use the test command to test for the existence of a file. when i used it on a file located on the linux drive it works fine but when i try to use it with a windows file it does'nt work. can anyone help !

I've tried "if test -f <filename>;then echo OK; fi" on my fat32
partition, mounted in the *nix file heirarchy as /xp--and this works
fine--also "-d" for directories. The kernel has modules "fat" and
"vfat" both loaded. So if you're having problems:

1. does the kernel have compiled in or as modules, the read of yr W* file
system (fat32, ntfs,....)

2. is the W* partition mounted in yr *nix file system?
