Is the D: drive a cdrom or hard drive?

What error message are you getting, 'it cannot'?

Post the messages.

Did you read the NHF on accessing other partitions? May help. 'man mount' and 'man fstab' also.

My d: drive is a windows partition.

and the error is

wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda3 or too many mounted file systems

when i try to mount hda2 after the last error message it also says (aren't you tryint to mount an extended partition nistead of some logical paritition instead?)
