[K12OSN] Accessing an NFS Windows partition

The windows partition will not be NFS. . . It will be NTFS.
Now, depending on the kernel version and whether or not the NTFS support
is in there, here is one way to do it.
Logged in on the linux computer as root:
make a directory - example
mkdir /cdrive
then mount that directory like this or similar:
mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /cdrive
the /dev/hda1 will depend on the partition your ntfs filesystem is in.
One way to do that id to run fdisk and look at partitions.
fdisk /dev/hda the first IDE hard drive
fdisk /dev/hdb the second IDE hard drive
and so on.
So, if fdisk you'll see the partitions listed like:
Disk /dev/sda: 219.8 GB, 219823472640 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 26725 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/sda1 1 4 32098+ de Dell Utility
/dev/sda2 * 5 69 522112+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda3 70 9207 73400985 83 Linux
/dev/sda4 9208 26725 140713335 f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/sda5 9208 18345 73400953+ 83 Linux
/dev/sda6 18346 22522 33551721 83 Linux
/dev/sda7 22523 23827 10482381 83 Linux
/dev/sda8 23828 24871 8385898+ 82 Linux swap
/dev/sda9 24872 26725 14892223+ 83 Linux
In my case the drives are SCSI, so they're listed as sda instead of hda.
So say your windows was on /dev/sda4 as in the above example. Your mount
line would look like:
mount -t ntfs /dev/sda4 /cdrive
Now, again, depending on your kernel and what support you have, you should
be able to read that partition, but likely not write to it.
