how can i permanently mount a windows partition which is located on a second harddrive. At the moment im having to type 'mount -t vfat /dev/hdb1 /mnt/vfat' everytime i start linux and wish to access that partition. Is there i way i can permantly mount it so its allready mounted when linux begins? I'm using redhat linux 9 if that helps. Thanxs

add it to your /etc/fstab file
so something like:
/dev/hdb1 /mnt/vfat vfat auto,users 0 0

if you want read and write access as user upon boot, see the helpful tips page of my guide, link is below

I can't do this because when i try this ,i get a error message like "too many directories.....",but if i add " mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/winxp in rc.local,it works,hehe,what's the matter?
