Hey!! i use to have mandrake, and i have 1 ide cable with two hard disks one with debian and another with windoz 2000. In mandrake hdba(windoz) was automatically mounted in fstab when i boot mandrake, but here in debian there is not even listed as a partition(for choose) is there any way to update that info to detect that partition at least to give a direction(like hdba) to mount it on fstab. because i see only floppy my 2 cdrom units and swap and ext3. I see that in partition info center.

Well you'll have to edit your /etc/fstab file. I'm not sure on the settings for win2000 though.

yes i know that but i can't see the Windows hard disk on linux it doesn't name it, i could edit the fstab for a fat partition like in mandrake. But i don't see hdba1 win200 ntfs 17 gigas hdba2 fat 30 gigas and hdba3 ntfs, all i see is the linux partition.!

Do following as root:
It will list all your partitions, use that to edit the fstab file.

That was a neat way to getting a listing of partitions.
Btw, it is a good idea to save a backup of that listing somewhere else in case your partition table gets overwritten some day. Have happened to me twice, first time I was using three different partition managers at the same time and I didn't have a backup.
Second time was a computer at school so I was a bit more prepared when a friend of mine explored the effects of "cat randomdsong.mp3 > /dev/sda". Took me a few minutes to restore the partition table and reformat the first partition which was a lot shorter then a total reinstall.
