Simpler would be to mount the Windows partition in Linux, and copy the
files over directory to your Windows partition.  Red Hat Linux
autodetects DOS/Windows partitions and gives you the option of
automouting them at startup.  Look in the /mnt/ directory; if you have
a mount point such as /mnt/dosc/ that's the mount point for the
partition you're looking for.  Type 

mount /mnt/dosc/ 

and you will be able to access your Windows files from Linux.

If you're not set up to do that you can do it anyway, but it's a bit
more complicated.  You need to know the device the Windows partition
appears as in the Linux device directory /dev .  Mine is /dev/hda1, the
first partition on the drive.  Mount with 

 mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/dosc

The -t option is to specify the filesystem.  Windows uses the vfat
filesystem.

Good luck!

 Sometimes a concept is baffling not because it is profound but because
 it is wrong.
