[groundzero]

I cant mount my damn dos partition.
Here is my fstab entry
/dev/hdd1 /mnt/mmdrive vfat user,exec,rw,conv=auto 0 0

the device is hdd

it says hdd1 is not a valid block dev
thanks in advance

I just posted this in another thread here.

This should help you.

Also if it is a dos partition, would you use msdos instead of vfat?

its fat32 win98 partition
i had it mounted under linux before i dont know why its doing this now??

Quote from my fstab:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat defaults 1 0

that's my entry for my windows drive. I hope this might help

I tried your entry to no avail. it says hdd1 is not a valid block device
damnit

Correct me if I am wrong but if it says that HDD1 isnt a valid block device then it isnt the right partition??? Try changing the partition # or checking to see if it is the right one.

Here is my fstab entry:
/dev/hdb2 /mnt/win2k auto user,defaults 0 0

Try something to that effect and see what you get.

Its a jeep thing... You wouldn't understand.

its a second drive with 1 partition if that helps
i mean there is only one partition on the drive and its fat32
testing again

[mdwatts]

Would be hdb1 then, would it?

hd = HD
b = second drive
1 = first partition

That should be it...

[groundzero]

ok let me try that
im really lost here
it looks like when it boots it i.d.s it as hdd
