oh yea, and i cant read or regocnize my cd rw drive either could use some help there.

 

[horndude]

you can mount them but read only........NO writing

make a directory where you want them......like /home/utoast/windowsdrive

mkdir /home/utoast/windowsdrive
then mount /dev/hd? /home/utoast/windowsdrive

did slackware ask you if you wanted them mounted at start up during your install, if so they are already on there.

do: pico /etc/fstab and see if they are listed

they are NTFS so you may have probs, the NTFS filesystem modules need installed if they arent on there

 

[horndude]

even better yet install some network cards and just transfer them directly via ethernet

 

[horndude]

which cable is your cdrw on, it needs listed in /etc/fstab too

fstab is where drives are listed tobe mounted at boot time

youmay have to also change grub or LILO and add a line thats like this:

append "hd?=ide-scsi" where ? is the letter for that drive like hdc for example

 

[U-Toast]

ok 1st at install it asked to add them, i said no to not get complications, and what do u mean by install network cards and transfer what?

 

[U-Toast]

hmm i made the directory, then when i type mount /dev/hdb /home/ubertoast/windowsdrive
it sais to give the file system format or w/e
hdb is my 2nd hd with all my songs n shit
