MOUNTING WINDOWS STUFF

I wanted to do the following so that I could get into windows without having to restart all the time. Save me a bit of time. I wanted to get wine going but did not have much success. Wines a program which runs windows applications.
After a bit of mucking about, got to view windows directories via linux. This mean't mounting c on in the folder /mnt. You have to create a mount point and you do that by navigating to the mnt folder and creating the mount point with:

mkdir /c
chmod a+rw /c

then:

mount /dev/hda1 /c -t vfat

which actually seemed to work. I followed the directions via instructions from

linux.org.mt/article/winmount

apparently this does not work with xp. I will have to find out!
