accessing windows files from linux...
 

hi,
i would like to access my windows files from my windows drives..so far i have been using the mount command to accomplish this..(mount /dev/hda<no> /mnt/<folder>)...i would like to know if its possible to make linux automatically mount these drives on bootup instead of me doing it manually every single time..my guess is that i have to edit the /etc/fstab file in order to accomplish this..am i right? and what exactly must i add to the file to accomplish the above thing?

thanks for any help,
cheers,
ganesh

Yea, add this line to '/etc/fstab' :
Edit: Of course change '/dev/hda4' to wherever windows actually is and '/mnt/windows' to wherever you want it to mount.

And if don't want to restart your computer before it will mount, just type 'mount /mnt/windows'

thanks :)
 

thanks joe..
