I just figured out that i had exist.  I was just coming to rewrite the last
mail.
My windows is on hda1 and the message i get back when invoking the mount
command is that /mnt/hda1 is invalid.

How do i get it into the /mnt directory?

I know little about linux and at one time i knew this but seem to have
forgotten.

thanks for your patience
Nate
