Dual Boot: Linux(debian) & XP. Mount point???


I have two SCSI disks, with Linux(debian) an one; and Windows XP on the other. I want to backup files on XP; but don't know the mount point. XP is NTFS, and my kernel can handle that.

The mount point can be anywhere you want it to be.

Sometimes, mount points will get set up automatically--typically in /mnt or /media

To see what is already mounted, enter "mount"

To see what is already SET UP to be mounted, enter "more /etc/fstab"

From scratch (assuming that Windows is on sda1):
Commands must be run as root
Code:
mkdir /mnt/windows
mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/windows
cd /mnt/windows
ls
You should now be looking at the contents of the windows partition
