Adding and accessing additional windows drives from Linux:
- Open the Root Shell Konsole from the Kmenu options
- Give the user password and log in to the root.
- create a new folder say winE in the /mnt folder (cmd: " mkdir -p /mnt/winE")
- Now open the settings.txt ( in my computer it was located at /mnt/and or installation directory\settings.txt e.g. "D:\Program Files\andlinux\settings.txt" ) and add the following line .
cofs1=E:\
- "In this case I am adding my E: Drive .You can use vi editor to add this line (Click the LINK for how to use vi Editor)"
- open the /etc/fstab (cmd: "vi /etc/fstab" ) and add the following line.
cofs1 /mnt/winE cofs defaults 0 0
- Mount all the drives in fstab the drive with the following command ( mount -a -type cofs1)
- Stop andlinux and restart it.
- open Dolphin and navigate to /mnt/winE folder. Now you should be able to access the newly added drive. (You can also right click and select "Add it to Places" for easy access"
- Good luck and have fun using andLinux ;-)
