Awesome thanks for the advice.
yeah they're NTFS, because one is Windows XP and other 2 are Windows file types. I don't really need to mount them I guess. I just wanted to mess around and figure out why the **** I couldn't open them up heh.
I do need to mount my DVD/RW though, that's for sure so thanks for the input on mounting.
Now to figure out the internet on there. Mozilla is installed, but is there a special command to get it running properly...maybe I need to install my D-Link wireless adapter software on that HD also...just like in Windows.
