I don't know about Fedora, but many Linux systems auto mount all HDs and partitions on startup. Can you see the music from Linux? If not you will have to manually mount the HD/partition - then everything should work.

Well... ok when i go to the file browser i go into:
/dev
And the hard dirves are listed there, including the partitions.. i cannot open any of them though. :/ I am probably doing something wrong...

Speaking from an Ubuntu stand point - after mounting my Windows partition it shows up in a folder called Storage Media as an icon of a hard drive. Clicking on it opens the partition allowing me to manouver around in Windows. Because it is NTFS it is read only but still, I can click on an MP3 and it will play.

what do you mean by mounting? just putting in the hard drive?

Blitz, a bit of info would be useful. Is the drive a external drive, thats in a enclosure or in the machine itself? Was the drive used for windows, that way we know we are dealing with either fat32 or ntfs.

No, mounting is the way Linux sees another partition, or other hardware for that matter.
If your version of Linux doesn't auto mount all partitions then you first have to make a directory - then create a path to the particular partition you want to use.
This might help.
