Hi

I have recently started using Linux and want to mount my FAT32 file system on to the linux.

1. i have 3 partitions C,D and E
2. Linux is on the EXT3
3. I have some MP3 files on the D drive and want to play then in Linux
4. and how can i permanently mount the drives on to Linux

If any one have the solution.
Kindly ail me at amit5chopra@walla.com

I would say follow this link

then change the /dev/hda1 to /dev/hda2 and so on for each drive, how ever I could be wrong, lets hope some one hops in to help out

TT

amit5chopra, firstly don't ask people to email you off the forums as that kinda defeats the purpose of said forums. If your responses are posted here, then people with similar problems can benefit. You might also want to remove your address from your post to prevent yourself from receiving spam.

C, D and E partitions mean nothing under Linux. We need to know which nodes they're attached to in /dev. They might be /dev/hda1, hda2 and hda3, but it would be better if you could post the output of "fdisk -l" (without quotes and that's a lowercase L, not a number one) so we can see your partition table.

You'll need to have the partitions listed in your /etc/fstab file if you want them mounted automatically at boot time. Here's an example that assumes /dev/hda1 is a FAT32 partition mounted on /mnt/windows:

/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat auto,rw,umask=000 0 0

This partition can be written to by everyone and you need to create the mount point (/mnt/windows in this example) before you try to use it!

HTH.
