If your windows partition is NTFS as far as I know you will not be able to mount it under Solaris. If it was on another box, however, you could use SAMBA, but that is not an option here.

If it is FAT you can use pcfs

mount -F pcfs /dev/dsk/c0d0p1 /mnt

but how can i mount any partition thats on the extended partition (the next partition after 3 primary partition) ?

If sun want there os becoming famous they have to support NTFS as what FreeBSD do, about the pcfs mounting you can edit your /etc/vfstab to add lines for your pcfs to be mounted everytime you start the system, personally i find it alot convenient.

hello again,

thank you for the reply guys,
but once again - i'm not talking NTFS here -
i just want to mount a PCFS partition on a logical drive (in MS term, maybe).

the harddrive may only consist of 3 primary and 1 extended + logical partitions , or 4 primary right? so :
c0d0p1
c0d0p2
c0d0p3
c0d0p?? -> is extended partition - and this is my problem, right here... : )

great help once again, thank you : )
