mounting

[Harry Vorstenbosch]

Dear Guido,
At first you need to define a directory as the mount point for windows
per example /windows/C D or whatever, and you need to now which
partition is involved for instance /dev/hda1 /dev/hda3 /dev/hdb1 etc.  
Secondly you can mount manually the disk by mount -t ntfs or (vfat) \dev
\hda1 \windows\C 

As soon as this works, you may edit your /etc/fstab file and add the
following line (as example)
/dev/hda1	/windows/C 	ntfs  defaults 0 0

The same counts for your usb devices.See the line usbfs...

Herewith I add a copy as your model:
This is the fstab file from my SuSE Linux version 10.0
You can see also NFS links to other systems as well.
and you will seen two disks hda and hdb
I hope this will help.
But do not forget that the MOUNPOINT(s) must exist.(In Windows terms,
the directory must exist).

/dev/hda8	/	reiserfs	acl,user_xattr 1 1
/dev/hdb5	/suse93	reiserfs	defaults 1 2
