I came from Mandrake when i installed FC 2. Everything works smoother
and slight faster. I can not get thru to the old Windows partitions. As
a newbie to FC 2 i am doing something quite wrong, but is there anybody
who could point me at the right direction?

I thought you are speaking about an NTFS partition, don't you?

Red Hat / Fedora does not support NTFS partitions 'Out of the box' you
need to either rebuild the kernel with NTFS support or download and
install the NTFS RPM(-s) for your kernel(s) from;
http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/rpm/fedora2.html Then you can
mount/unmount the NTFS partition(s) using the mount/umount commands and/or
modify /etc/fstab for the NTFS filesytem(s) support(follow the FAQ link).
