Windows disk in Linux
I'm running Red Hat 7.2 and cant get my Windows drive to mount. I edited fstab, adding the following: /dev/hdb1 /dos msdos defaults 0 0
When i try to mount it, it says wrong fs type, bad superblock on /dev/hdb1, or too many mounted file systems.

stupid question...? Is the windows drive hdb1 ? This would make it the first partition on the second IDE channel.
If you are not sure, type 'dmesg' to print the start up messages and look for the lines that identify hda and hdb by manufacturer.

OK, I got it, I looked more at dmesg and hdb only had one partition listed, but it was hdb2, not 1. So I changed fstab and now it works. Thanks for your help!
