How can I mount Windows automatically after I boot Linux everytime?
I use the command
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/win -t msdos
:rolleyes:

Put that in your /etc/fstab file.

Add or change /etc/fstab

/dev/hda1 /mnt/win auto user,defaults 0 0

Hey guys! Is it possible to make a windoze partition completely hidden from users but of course root would still have full access. My friend was wondering this because we would like to set up a WAN.

In Mandrake 8.0, if you set your security level to "high" (using the control center), then the users won't be able to access /mnt, meaning the windows drive will be "hidden" (I am painfully aware of this)

Note, regular users will also be locked out of pretty much everything but /home, so they won't be able to access the floppy or the cdrom drive, or anything really. kind of annoyying.

Changing user to owner will stop normal users from being able to mount the windows partition. I think it's owner. 'man fstab' will verify this.
