I am running LINUX on a separate drive and can mount my floppy and cdrom drives but as of yet I have been unsuccessful at mounting C.  As one would expect, the C drive contains all of my MSDOS and WIN95 files.  Any suggestions to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated.

Depending on your partitions and type of drive [IDE versus Scsi] try
something like:

For msdos:
mount -t msdos /dev/hdaX /mnt <-- the X stands for the partition 1,2 etc.

For Win95:  <-- this needs vfat compiled into the kernel.
mount -t vfat /dev/hdaX /mnt  

For scsi, replace the /dev/hdaX with /dev/sdaX

Issue the command 'df' to find your partitions and to mount.

This info can be included in your /etc/fstab file to make it
easier to issue the commands. You need some basic Unix help here,
read some on the mount command.

Good luck,
