EDIT: all values here are generic and non specific, you'll need to discover the values on your own machine

firstly we need to know the device name of your vista partition e.g. /dev/sda1

then we assume that your vista partition is ntfs format.

you may need to also install ntfs-3g from the debian repositories

once you know all this, you'll need to create a mount point which is just an empty folder somewhere e.g. /media/vista

then the line you add to your /etc/fstab file should looks something like

Code:

/dev/sda1 /media/vista            ntfs-3g    realatime              0       0

thx,

Read Only:

Code:

 # mount -t ntfs /dev/sda2 /windows

Code:

 
# cat /etc/fstab
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
/dev/sda3       /               ext3    errors=remount-ro 0       1
/dev/sda8       /home           ext3    defaults        0       2
/dev/sda7       /tmp            ext3    defaults        0       2
/dev/sda6       /var            ext3    defaults        0       2
/dev/sda5       none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/scd0       /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
/dev/sda2       /windows        ntfs    defaults        0       0

Write => ntfs-3g

Code:

* Userspace NTFS driver via FUSE, provides read and write access.

Code:

/dev/sda2 /windows ntfs-3g rw,uid=1000,gid=1000,dmask=0002,fmask=0003 0 0

yes, ntfs-3g allows you to both read and write the drive where as ntfs only lets you read
