How do I mount the Windows volume in my USB drive while using my Portable Linux?

Up to Table of Contents

This FAQ applies to: Any version.

If you want to access the files stored on your Windows partition on your Linux system:

  1. Add the following commands to the /etc/rc.local file (before the exit 0 line):
    /sbin/losetup /dev/loop2 /dev/disk/by-label/PORTABLELNX
mkdir -p /media/windows
mount -t vfat -o umask=000,noatime /dev/loop2 /media/windows
  2. reboot

From this point on, you can simply browse to /media/windows to see your files.  The partition mounts automatically on boot.
