Using file managers I can't see contents of volumes and partitions different than the one in which I have antiX. I tried to mount volumes with the terminal as a regular user and as root user but I got error messages. I have two physical hard drives, one for Windows and one for Linux; in sda2 I have Windows 7, in sdb3 I have PCLOS KDE, and in sdb9 I have antiX.

I checked fstab and saw my volumes:

Code: Select all

How can I access files in other OS's from my antiX install?

You need to mount them. Looking at your fstab they are ready to be mounted by any user. However, your problem is likely to be a permissions problem, the files you are trying to see belong to another user ID, even if they are 'yours' on another system, they likely are owned by a different user ID. Only the root user will be able to see them.

fatmac: thank you. I opened Xfe as root, mounted the partitions and saw all files. SOLVED
