	Hi Ray, I always try to mount them manually first. It takes the form
like this:

	$ sudo mount -t ntfs /dev/sda7 /mnt

if you get no error messages then look at /mnt and see if your Windows
is there. If you get an error message, and I think you might, it should
lead you to a fix. When it works try the fix in /etc/fstab.
