Mounting windows drive

Hi!

I’ve just installed Mandrake 8.1 with Samba. I can mount a share from Win
2000 on my Linux box, but how do you mount Windows partitions form Linux? I
looked for smbclient but couldn’t find it.

Thanks in advance.

    mount -t smbfs -o username=username,password=password \\pcwin\share
    /mnt/pcwin/share

    Of course you must create before the directories where you want to mount
    the shares.
    Note you can mount windows shares at startup putting right lines in
    /etc/fstab.

    A Windows partition will be either VFAT (fat, fat32) or NTFS.

    # mount -t <fstype> /dev/<partition dev> /<mount point>

    This is given that you have support compiled in for the
    mentioned filesystems.

    Hi,
    Very nice, but NTFS is read only for linux ;)
    But you can use FAT without any problem :P
