How can I make all of my partitions readable when
I am booted to my new mandriva installation?
Copies of the /etc/fstab files from both my year old mepis
and my new mandriva 2006 installations (partitions)
are shown below. Why are they so different?
When booted to the mepis partition, I can access
the other partitions on my system, but when booted
to my mandriva partition, I can't mount the other
partitions to read or access them. What do I need to do
to the mandriva partition so I can mount, read, access,
and copy files from the other partitions?
$ on mandriva, df shows this:
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/hda6 9.7G 2.2G 7.0G 24% /
/dev/hda7 9.7G 3.3G 6.5G 34% /home
/dev/hdb1 4.0G 1.3G 2.7G 32% /mnt/windows
$ on mandriva, ls -ltr /mnt shows this:
total 12
drwxrwxrwx 28 root root 4096 Dec 31 1969 windows/
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Dec 29 05:46 cdrom2/

=== fstab on my mandriva partition looks like this:
# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details
