I was trying to figure out how to mount my windows partition under linux and i know you have to edit etc/fstab. Whatever i tried didnt work, does anyone know what i have to put in the config file?
thanks

You can just run this command:
mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows

This is assuming you have windows installed on the first partition of the master harddrive. It also assumes you have a directory under /mnt called windows.

if you have linuxconf or if you are using Red hat, in that case, it would be linuxconf-auth. You can set up the partition with that, so it will mount it on boot up. I dont even bother touching fstab.
