Nils Sjöholm wondered :

can't see anything. What am I missing?

~ maybe, in /etc/fstab you gotta have an entry like :- .................................................................. /dev/hda1 /vfat vfat noauto,gid=100,umask=007,user 0 0 .............................................. ~ then you gotta have the M$ paritiion Mounted, maybe, as root :- #mount /dev/hda1 /vfat ........................................................ best wishes ____________ sent on Linux ____________

Hi,

I was just going to make a link to Delphi on my C partition but I can't see any directory or files in the File Manager. In fact when I try to browse my C or D (windows partitions) I can't see anything. What am I missing?

sounds like you might need to mount the drive. try typing this at the command prompt mount /dev/hdX /mnt -t vfat on the hdX replace the X with your correct drive letter and number like hda2 or hdb3 or hda1. After it mounts go into the /mnt directory and if you see the files then you just need to edit you /etc/fstab file and add your windows partition into it OR it miight already be in the fstab file you just need to mount it when you want to use it. If its already there you dont have to add the mount point of the switch -t vfat all you have to do it type mount /dev/hdX to unmount just type umount /dev/hdX your are using IDE hard drives right?
