Have you tried using Samba..

 

You got kde going type in

smb://192.X.X.X/

the ip address of the windows machine.. Using Konqueror..

 

Here we go we will Konquer it..

 

Then you will see the drives on the windows box (May have to put in a user name and password..)

 

Copy till your hearts content..

Start up your MCC.

Go to the installing software section.

Search for Samba.

Install:

Samba-client

Samba-common

Samba-server

 

Close the installing software section and go to the security section.

Disable your firewall

Close MCC

 

Open Konqueror.

Ctrl+L

smb://192.X.X.X/

 

Now you can copy the desired files.

does the PC itself sees the disk? if not, check the jumper settings, it might be set as a slave, coz your nix HD is already a master... then check your BIOS settings, might be that the BIOS has been set to detect only the Primary Master, try to change thus to auto, then see if the PC itself detected that HD..

 

then in your linux.. (u'r using mandriva right?) as root - MCC - Mounpoints - create.delete.harddisk partitions - then there you can add mount points.. that HD should be detected as HDB assuming you have an existing single HD (HDA)

 

It's faster this way that getting those files from network....
