Next, you need two pieces of information:
# The device name for the Windows [Partition]. This is ''usually'' <tt>/dev/hda1</tt>, but if you have multiple Windows partitions, multiple HardDisk~s or an otherwise out-of-the-ordinary setup, it may be something else. We'll assume <tt>/dev/hda1</tt> here, but if yours is different, then substitute it accordingly.
-# MicrosoftWindows [Partition]s come in two flavours: [FAT], a crummy old format, and [NTFS], a crummy
modern format. You need to know which one you have. Windows 9x/ME can only work with [FAT] partitions, but Windows 2000 and XP can do both – they default to [NTFS], though, so that's probably what you have.

To mount an [NTFS] partition, you use <tt>mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows</tt>; to mount a [FAT] partition, you use <tt>mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows</tt>.
