Mounting Hard Drives

AndrewZorn · 04-03-2005, 03:27 PM

I just boot my computer and now I have drives all over the place!

Let me elaborate... the same icon used for 'Filesystem'... on my desktop, I have 'windows', in Computer I have '250G Hard Drive: 250G Media' and 'windows'.

My fstab file:

Code:

# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details
LABEL=/                 /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
none                    /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
none                    /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
none                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
none                    /sys                    sysfs   defaults        0 0
LABEL=SWAP-sda6         swap                    swap    defaults        0 0
/dev/hdd1               /drives/caviar          vfat    rw,defaults,user,umask=0222 0 0
/dev/sda1               /drives/windows         ntfs    ro,defaults,user,umask=0222 0 0
/dev/hdb                /media/cdrecorder       auto    pamconsole,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,ro,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
/dev/hda                /media/cdrom            auto    pamconsole,fscontext=system_u:object_r:removable_t,ro,exec,noauto,managed 0 0

Also, that 250G hard drive that is formatted in FAT32... Windows can't see it for some reason.

I'm thinking I'd like to unmount all of it, and get just the two drives next to Filesystem. And have Windows XP be able to read the drive.

Ok, I thought Windows not being able to read it would not be a problem, but now when I try to install Java, it says X: is not valid and then it exits installation. That is absurd considering X: is just an extra hard drive, not the one Windows is installed to or the one I want to put Java on. How can I help this? Seriously, I really need to get the drive working in Windows because I have a Java program to finish and because I CANT GET ANY HELP ON THE ATI DRIVERS the resolution in Linux is too small for me to effectively program.

its in the disk management though... just need to get it to where it will not give me the error when installing JDK and preferably in my computer
