I've just installed Mdk 10.1. How do I mount my slave disk? There is a win_c2 folder in my /mnt directory which is empty. I don't know where it came from.
The disk has one fat32 partition. In diskdrake there is a mount option, but where do i mount it? I tried /mnt, but mdk told me that this directory should be left i the root file system(?). I don't know why, but I post my fstab file here:

/dev/hda6 / reiserfs notail,acl,user_xattr 1 1
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec,users 0 0
/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom2 auto umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec,users 0 0
none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2:vfat,--,umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,gid=users,users 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 swap swap pri=42 0 0

According to your fstab file, it looks like it will attempt to mount the windows partition in '/mnt/windows' so you may want to make sure that the folder /mnt/windows exists, and then try to mount /dev/hda1. You can do this by opening a terminal and issuing these commands (as root):

Hope that helps.

But there is alredy a windows directory in mnt. I have a windows system installed on my master disk. What is hda1?

what's the output when you try to mount it ? ( #mount /dev/hda1 )

hda1 is your first hard-disk, ( and you have two of them ? )

Hda1 is my windows partition where I have win 98 installed. This partition is mounted. On the same hard disk is mdk installed in another partition. But, on my other hard disk a FAT32 (windows) partition is unmounted. This is the only partition on this disk. I would like to mount this one.

then try :

" #mkdir /mnt/disk2 "
" #mount -t vfat -o rw,users,umask=000 /dev/hdb1 /mnt/disk2 "

and see if it's there.

to mount it at boot, add a line like this in fstab :

/dev/hdb1 /mnt/disk2 vfat umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,gid=users,users 0 0

hdb1 doesn't exist.

huh....
then maybe it's connected to the other ide-cable ?
i think then it'll be hdc or hdd.

hdb5! It worked! Thank you!
