Cant mount partition created in windows.

I have my hard drive partitioned into three parts, one for Slackware one for windows and then I recently created a third for music and other stuff that I wanted to be able to share across them, the problem I ran into though is when I go to mount the drive in Slackware I get the error: "TODO: have to rethink extra options" I'm kind of lost as to what to do here?

I do this on my system with a FAT32 formatted partition. In my /etc/fstab I have this:

Quote:

# FAT32 partition shared with all operating systems
/dev/sda10 /FAT32SCR vfat users,rw,umask=000 0 0

This partition also shows up in my XP as another drive.

Obviously you will need to change things for your setup depending on how your disk is partitioned and what filesystem it was formatted with.
