How do you access the C drive from a Linux terminal?
Linux does not identify drives or partitions with letters. To Windows, "C:" is the partition that the running version of Windows is currently installed on, regardless of how many partitions are on the disk. Linux identifies partitions based on the order they are placed on the disk. For instance, the second partition on the first hard drive would be /dev/sda2 or /dev/hda2. In order to access a Windows partition,you will need to identify what partition it is actually on. A quick way to do this is to run cfdisk /dev/sda or cfdisk with whatever hard drive it is on if you have more than one. A Windows partition will have the type of either NTFS or FAT32. To mount it, create a directory (such as /mnt/windows), and use the command mount /dev/sda3 /mnt/windows substituting of course the correct partition.
What is the mount command in Linux?
The mount command instructs the kernel to access the file system on a partition or device.
How do you access Windows partition in Linux?
This depends on the distro that you are using. In many modern distros, you can use the ntfs-3g driver (often included) to mount Windows partitions. The partition will show up on the desktop. In some others, you will have to manually add an entry to the /etc/fstab file.
How do you select a partition while installing Linux?
Different installers have slightly different ways of doing things. The basic idea is to specify a partition as the "mount point" for / . That will create the system on that partition.
Can you use Linux to boot a computer and access the hard drive?
Yes. LiveCDs can access the hard drive on a computer, though you will need to know the partition identification to mount that partition.
What is the purpose of the tune2fs command in Linux?
tune2fs is used to adjust characterisitics of an ext2/3/4 partition, such as number of mount times before forced fsck, change the mount times counter, and set kernel responeses to errors.
A volume or partition can be attached to a mount point on any other volume or partition?
True
Linux has only one root directory per directory tree. true or false?
Unlike Windows, Linux has a unified file system. In Windows, all paths start with a drive letter, like C: ( C:\Users\Joe\Documents\readme.txt ) A flash drive may mount as F:, and a CD may mount as E:. In Linux, there are no drive letters, and all paths begin from the root directory (/) ( /home/joe/readme.txt ) Storage devices will instead mount to folders. A flash drive may mount to /media/Lexar So, to answer your question, Linux only has one directory tree, the uppermost level of which is known as the file system's root.

What operating system is Linux compatible with?
Linux *is* an operating system. So it's not meant to be compatible with a specific operating system. However, it can interoperate with other systems, which means that it can provide its own implementations of another operating systems features to make sure the user is able to use Linux with the other operating systems. For example, Linux interoperates with Windows by having filesystem drivers to vFat and NTFS, so that it may mount and manipulate Windows filesystems. It also has an open source implementation of SMB (Windows Networking.) called Samba, which can even share printers and files with Windows machines.
