I've just reloaded Linux again...

[Sheldon Dubrowin]

On one of my machines I have an entry in my /etc/fstab that looks like:
/dev/hda1               /dos            msdos           defaults   1  1

when the machine comes up, it mounts this drive at /dos.  I can then cd into
/dos to see any of the files in the C: partition of the dos/windows
partition.  If you try a mkfs I believe you will erase the windows partition.
