with Puppy 0.9.8, I was able to access both of my windows partitions. With Puppy 1.0, I can't access it. How may I regain this function?

they should still be there.
if you use rox ( easiest way ) you should find windows stuff in /mnt/home directory

Of course, the wizard must first "mount" them. Heh heh.

When I run Puppy Drive Mounter, it says that there are no windows partitions found. /mnt/home is my first windows partition. My linux drive partitions are mounted. My cdroms and floppy are able to be mounted.

A bug in probedisk/probepart?

Try running probepart in RXVT. See if you see your vfat partitions (if they are detected) in the resulting list?

When it comes to mounting devices with Puppy Linux, the sky is the limit.

I'll show some examples of how i do it sometimes. I run probepart, I get an output like this:

There are some partitions one does not want to mount:

probepart doesn't tell which is home, or what is mounted. it just tells you whatcha got.

If you don't know which the home partition is, find out by running mount. This is my output:

Note that home is hda3, it is already mounted on /mnt/home, so you don't need to concern yourself with this.

You can make a script file to mount your other partitions. This is what I'll show you how to do.

Taking the information I gathered from mount and probepart, I want to mount hda1 hda5 hda6, I'll call the script file /root/my-applications/bin/mhd
