IIT kahragour ?

Generally :

mount -t msdos /dev/hda1 /WinCdrive

replace hda1 with your windows partition..

wincdrive is the folder where u want the winpartition to show up

man mount for more details

how can i know as to which partitions given in /etc/fstab is my windows partitions?

Do have one hdd ?

most likely hda1 is ur win partition with hda as ur pri master hdd(hdc if u have another hdd as sec master)

cfdisk /dev/hda will list partitions on hda with partiion type

btw if u have mandrake linux, it does auto mounting

more help here http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/linux/

and search google

yes, harddrives are listed by letter (physical drive) then by number(partition).

read up on mounting drives. i used to know how to check what drives are mounted and stuff but i forgot, otherwise i would tell you. (havent fiddled with linux in almost a year.)
