Linux ---How to mount windows partions in linux file system

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
find out the windows partitions from the patition table (using the fdidk command [1])and mount using the command :

mount -t vfat
eg:
mount -t vfat /dev/hda8 /winC

Where:
/dev/hda8 :- is the partition.
/winc :- is the mount point.

To mount the windows filesystems automatically edit the /etc/fstab file with required entries.
/etc/mtab conatins the mounted partitions , it keeps the details dynamically .
