ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh
I've tried your suggestions, and i cant seem to find anything about windows in the /dev directory. I did however, find many different hda's but when i clicked on them nothing happened. When i typed /dev/hda1 into Konqueror, a window poped up asking what i would like to open the file with?
I did make a partioin before I installed linux. I made it with Partion Magin 4.0, I set it so it would make it a linux partition.
But one thing that is EXTREMLY scary, is that prior to intallation, I used PQDI to make a drive image and burned it onto CD's. This was my bakcup in case all else failed. BUT the boot disks dont work! It asks me to insert a valid system disk! i dont even know what that means.
And if all i need is a few files from windows, could I not then get them from my windows restore CD's?
Could anyone give me some imput on my situation, please.
Thanks for any help,
JD

HD(4) Linux Programmer's Manual HD(4)
NAME
hd - MFM/IDE hard disk devices
DESCRIPTION
The hd* devices are block devices to access MFM/IDE hard disk drives in raw mode. The master drive on the primary IDE controller (major
device number 3) is hda; the slave drive is hdb. The master drive of the second controller (major device number 22) is hdc and the slave
hdd.
General IDE block device names have the form hdX, or hdXP, where X is a letter denoting the physical drive, and P is a number denoting the
partition on that physical drive. The first form, hdX, is used to address the whole drive. Partition numbers are assigned in the order
the partitions are discovered, and only nonempty, nonextended partitions get a number. However, partition numbers 1-4 are given to the
four partitions described in the MBR (the "primary" partitions), regardless of whether they are unused or extended. Thus, the first logi-
cal partition will be hdX5. Both DOS-type partitioning and BSD-disklabel partitioning are supported. You can have at most 63 partitions
on an IDE disk.
For example, /dev/hda refers to all of the first IDE drive in the system; and /dev/hdb3 refers to the third DOS "primary" partition on the
second one.
They are typically created by:
mknod -m 660 /dev/hda b 3 0
mknod -m 660 /dev/hda1 b 3 1
mknod -m 660 /dev/hda2 b 3 2
...
mknod -m 660 /dev/hda8 b 3 8
mknod -m 660 /dev/hdb b 3 64
mknod -m 660 /dev/hdb1 b 3 65
mknod -m 660 /dev/hdb2 b 3 66
...
mknod -m 660 /dev/hdb8 b 3 72
