I'm going to bed but to just give a hint. Elaborate a little more? Computer specs would be nice to know.

Are you trying to mount Fedora in Windows 7 so you can look inside of Fedora.

Or.

Are you trying to mount Windows 7 inside of Fedora so you can look inside of Windows 7.

Since I am sleepy and falling fast. Howdy and Welcome to the Forums as I won't get to your intro post.

Happy Trails Rok.

I don't know what you mean by above statement. Don't be bashful.

sorry if i was not clear
what i mean is that i have i laptop with windows 7 installed in it
then i installed fedora in it
the size of my hard disk is 180 GB
i have reserved 180 GB for windows
and for the remaining 180 GB i have installed fedora
so i have two drives
one for windows and one for fedora
i can open my windows drive in fedora
but when i double click on my fedora drive
i cant open it
hope i was clear this time

If you are tring to mount the fedora partition while you are booted into that partition, you can not, it is already mounted. If you are booted to a live cd then that is different. Can not tell which you are doing.

So are you booting to the hdd or live cd ?
Just what are you tring to do ?
