ENABLING THE NFS CLIENT IN WINDOWS 7 

Traditionally, NFS (the protocol used to access Linux shared files over the network) has not been available on Windows unless a separately licensed product called "Unix services for Windows" was installed.
This has changed with the introduction of Windows 7. NFS is now supported by the operating system, but needs to be manually enabled.
Use the instructions in this article to enable the NFS client in Windows 7.

1. Click "Start"

2. Select "Control Panel"

3. Select "Programs"

4. Select "Programs and Features"

5. Select "Turn Windows Features on or off"

6. Click the following boxes: "Services for NFS", "Administration Tools", "Client for NFS"

7. Click "Ok"

8. Open a command prompt and type the following command to mount a NFS share to a drive letter:

  mount \\{servername}\{exported_folder} {driveletter}:

    For example:

     mount \\nfsserver\data f:
 
   This example mounts the "data" folder on the "nfsserver" server to the F: drive on the Windows 7 system.
