- I installed FC3 x64 on a separate drive in my windows XP system. At
the time of installation, I was asked a question as to how much space I should assign on the drive so that Windows and linux can both share files. I remember to have assigned at least 20 GB. However, When I boot from WinXP, this drive appears completely unformatted. How do I find this 20 GB in both Windows and linux?
My appreciation to your responses in advance.

Did you format the drive? if you right click the drive in windows it sould give you a option to format it make sure you format it as fat32 not ntfs. if you don't have that option boot into linux and format it as fat32 or Vfat also read up on it before you try this man fdisk

If you already formatted it, just do:
mount /dev/hd /any_dir_name
(hd is the name of your shared partition; for me is hda5)
It works fine for me !
Or if is formatted and you always want to have it accessible, add the following to your /etc/fstab file please edit accoring to your usr name and group id and the location of the partition. create a folder in your home directory named windrive then add the following to your /etc/fstab as root **************************************************************************************** # Added 2-3-05 by jim <-- note to myself that I added it /dev/hda5 /home/jim/windrive vfat rw,nodev,uid=jim,gid=jim,noexec 0 0 --
