   There are different ways you can view your windows partition in linux, and your linux partition within windows. For windows it’s normally just a simple download of a program, however for linux it gets difficult.

   The complete answer will not fit in this space, so I will put the link here which probably has it worded better than I could.

   It definitally isn’t as streamlined as items within windows, but you have the courage to try and that’s what it’s all about. If you find you don’t like Redhat, Suse has a lot of support for different drivers and programs as well.

   Suse:

   Download and burn either the CD or DVD image. The DVD image would be the whole package on one disk with the exception of the Non Open Source Software which you have to select CD option to see.

   Good luck!

   its called mounting a drive..
   I don’t remember exactly hot to do it in linux 9.0..
   its a very old version.. try reading man pages..
   try " man mount" on the command promt..
   it will give you the complete info..
   in fedora core 4 the command is:-
   "mount -t vfat /dev/hdc1 destination "
   here
   vfat :- here its not like fat32 or fat16, its commonly named as vfat..
   destination :- is the file folder or directory where you want to mount the drive..
   in "hdc"
   hd :- is for hard disk.
   a,b,c :- is for numbering the external devices.
   123 :- is for the partition number.
   if you go to dev directory in root.. you will find files related to your external devices.. try searching there.. it must be like hdc1,hdc5,hdc6.. depending upon the type of partitions you made on your hdd..
