Just copy them with the file manager once the partition is mounted. > or is there a way to access fat32 file from linux? You can mount it in linux which will give you read/write access to it. If you distro is nice it will already be mounted under /mnt/windows (or similar). > > > also can someone give me some site for linux > begginners Mandrake User (http://www.mandrakeuser.org/) is one, although it is aimed Mandrake users. > i seriously know nothing!!! You might be better off with a distro targeted at people who are new to unix like Mandrake, SUSE, Redhat, Lycoris etc. They are also more widely used so it is easier to find pre-compiled packages for them (esp. redhat). |
