Hi all,
am still having problems accessing my windows(hda1) partition.
>From Nautilus - /   mnt  windows next step doesn't show any folders.

My fstab is as follows,

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
/dev/hda5       /               ext2    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0
1
/dev/hda7       /home           ext2    defaults        0       2
/dev/hda6       none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/hdc        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 ro,user,noauto  0       0
/dev/hdd        /media/cdrom1   udf,iso9660 ro,user,noauto  0       0
/dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0
/dev/hda1       /windows        vfat     rw,umask=000      0      0

----------------------------------------------------------------

Checked::

root at ubuntu:/home/squareyes # lsmod | grep fat
vfat                   13312  1
fat                    41792  1 vfat

Running the following successfully mounts windows(hda1)
and gives access to windows folders via Nautilus.


root at ubuntu:/home/squareyes # mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows
root at ubuntu:/home/squareyes #

----------------------------------------------------------------


/etc/modules are as below

# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file should contain the names of kernel modules that are
# to be loaded at boot time, one per line.  Comments begin with
# a "#", and everything on the line after them are ignored.

psmouse
mousedev
ide-cd
ide-disk
ide-generic
lp
vfat

----------------------------------------------------------------
Have tried the "man" pages and am afraid they don't really make any
sense to me.
can anyone see what I am doing wrong?
 
Thanks in advance for any help ,
Take Care
Winton
