Dear William and newsgroup, In order to mount a win95 partition, you must write at the command prompt of Linux: mount -t vfat /dev/<w95device> /<mntpoint> Where <w95device> may be substitued by the name of the device (disk partition in this case) when is w95, generally in the next format: hdxy, where x is a letter from 'a' to 'z', and y is a number from '1' to'9' ; and <mntpoint> is the path where you want to mount the w95 unit, and vfat is the name of the type of format. I'm not sure about the type of format, but I think that it's in that way. If not, I'm sorry. If it not works, perhaps you may install packets for DOS/Windows compatibility. Yours sincerely, Forza4
