mounting windows
 

could anyoner please tell me how to get my windows partion to mount at boot. I am using the kdisk free utility , when Itry to mount the partition that I want to mount this is the error message that I get "Called: mount -tvfat -oauto,user /hdc3 /mnt/win mount: special device /hdc3 does not exist" Here is a copy of my fstab # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hdc1 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hdc5 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/hdb /media/cdrom0 iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0 /hdc3 /mnt/win vfat auto,user 0 2 hdc does exist in my partitioning

I think there are a few things going on.

First, you need to make sure there is a directory called hdc3. When you open a terminal and type cd /hdc3 does it give you an error? If so your fstab is invalid. It's probably /dev/hdc3 or something similar. If hdc3 does not exist in your partitioning then replace hdc3 with the partition for your windows drive. Assuming it is a vfat partition, run the cfdisk command and see which partition is the W95 FAT32. For instance if it's sda1 then use /dev/sda1 in your fstab.

Second, check that you have a /mnt/win directory. If not, create it.

Third, you might need a space in your command. Try:

where you should replace the /hdc3 with your correct partition.

should it not be
/dev/hdc3 /mnt/win vfat auto,user 0 2 ????

Thankyou I overlooked something pretty obvious
