Last night I did a fresh install of 9 from 8.2. Before I installed I backed up my /home directory to my windows drive (1.2GB in size). After the install I decided to get some stuff from my backup and when I tried to open it (I tar'd it), I got a notice saying the file doesn't exist. Now when I backed it up, I did the following "tar -czvf /mnt/windows/C/tmp/backup.zip /home/tom" When I look at my windows drive, I can see the file in there and the size is 1.2gb. I have another zip file which I did of my /srv directory and I can't access that either. My new fstab of the windows drive says it mounts to /windows/C while my old fstab has it at /mnt/windows/C. Could that be my problem? I also transfered a couple single files into the same location and those work fine...although they were not tar'd. Anyone have any thoughts?????
