FC-8, how to stop win partitions from automatic mount
Hello,
I have FC-8 machine, which has linux and Win xp.
When I start linux, I find that all the win partitions (NTFS) are automatically mounted. They are mounted under /media directiory. For example the partition /dev/sda1 is found mounted on /media/disk. I have not added any entry in the /etc/fstab for this partition.
How can I stop this partition from getting automatically mounted.
This /dev/sda1 is my win C; drive. Incidently this partition though having "root" as its owner and group, I am able to delete files from this, that is it is mounted with permissions as "777".
There are other win partitions which contain data and I have added explicit entries in /etc/fstab to mount them.
SO friends, help me to stop this /dev/sda1 from getting mounted automatically.
Thanks in advance.
