I am a new linux user and I have got redhat 8.  I wonder how can I access my dos/windows files on other partions.  Recently when I want to get them,  I write them on cd from hard!

you can try this:
in terminal type- # mount /dev/hdxx /mnt/windows

/dev/hdxx is the partition that has the windows/dos stuff on this machine its hda1
/mnt/windows is the folder it will go into on this machine I made that folder for this reason

Its very easy to get dos files on linux
On linux command prompt type fdisk -l to check out the partitions which have your dos files it should be like
/dev/hda1 or 2 or 3.
lets say if /dev/hda1 has your dos files, make a directory in /mnt by the name dos.
Now type mnt /dev/hda1 /mnt/dos .
This command will mount your dos partition on /mnt/dos.
Now you can easily find your required dos files in /mnt/dos directory.
