To acess windows partition in RHL 9 you have to edit
/etc/fstab and append the following line(if you have fat 32 file system)
/dev/hda1/mnt/c vfat defaults 0 0
same process for other drives.
For NTFS you have to install linux-ntfs driver to acess parttion.You can get it from sourceforge.net or just Google
Btw RHL 9 is very old , I think you should go for FC5 or FC 4.
Oldies Plz correct me if I am wrong ?
