How to mount a Windows partition from the command line?

Hi,

This is my first post. Please excuse my poor English and lack of knowledge about Linux. I have a simple question that maybe someone in this forum might help me resolve:
I

maybe

# mkdir /mnt/hdc1
# mount -t vfat /dev/hdc1 /mnt/hdc1

or

# mkdir /mnt/hdc1
# mount -t ntfs -o ro /dev/hdc1 /mnt/hdc1

are you sure hdc is not your cd drive?
what does typing probepart tell you about hdc?

(your English is not poor)

Thank you so much for your fast and response.
The second option worked.

# mkdir /mnt/hdc1
# mount -t ntfs -o ro /dev/hdc1 /mnt/hdc1

Now I know a little bit more about Puppy Linux, which by the way is by far the best OS ever developed, even for people like me with limited knowledge about computers.
