Newbie: W2K and Mounting problem.

[Furmaniuk, Michael]

  Hmm...thought I had tried that earlier, though I know I did with the -su
switches and it didn't work, I can see it now.  Thanks for the quick
response!

  I saw some directory path postings about the double slashes but wasn't
sure it applied in this case, and looked in the FAQ and didn't see anything
obvious but I might have missed something.

Both the archives and the FAQ should state that if you are using backslash
style paths in a bash shell, you have to either do:

mount d:\\ /d

or

mount d:/ /d

This was actually mentioned within the last couple of days.

David, is this in the FAQ?  I couldn't find anything obvious.
