uhm, I think, actually he meant what he said. ;) I think Robin wants to access his Windows partition by not mounting it at startup, but rather only when needed, right? An example from my system: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# cat /etc/auto.master /amnt /etc/auto.mnt This file describes conf files for mountpoints under certain paths to autofs, in this case /etc/auto.mnt contains the configuration to apply when mounting under /amnt. [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# cat /etc/auto.mnt gamont -rw,no_root_squash,rsize=4096,wsize=4096 gamont:/home win -fstype=vfat,uid=0,gid=100,umask=002 :/dev/hda2 cdrom -fstype=iso9660,ro,uid=0,gid=100,umask=002 :/dev/scd0 floppy -fstype=auto,nosuid,nodev,umask=002,uid=0,gid=100 :/dev/fd0 The second line describes mount options for mounting a Windows partition. As you can see, the first line is an NFS mount (VERY convenient ;), the third goes to the CD-ROM drive and the last one is for the floppy. You should adapt "uid" and "gid" to your needs. Point to the correct device file, IIRC you said "/dev/hdb1". Don't forget to restart autofs by issuing /etc/init.d/autofs restart, so your new config files are read. You should be able to access your Windows filesystem by cd'ing to /amnt/win.
