I haven't followed all of this, but do you have a directoty named /mnt/win For my dual booted machine, I create a directory: /mydos mkdir /mydos and mount it there. Mine is FAT32 on this machine because I want to both read and write it (I converted the ntfs to FAT32 with the Partition Magic utility). Then I put the following in my /etc/fstab /dev/ad0s2 /mydos msdosfs rw 0 0 and then when I want it mounted, I just do: mount /mydos and it works just fine. That seems the easiest way to keep it. But, your error message looks like it is complaining of just what it says: there is either not a /mnt or not a /mnt/win So, if that is true, make sure those directories - or whichever one[s] you choose to use exist before try the mount. I suppose that could also be a permissions problem or even a security level issue if you have mucked with that. ////jerry > > ----- Original Message ---- > From: Martin Tournoij <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org > Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Sunday, February 18, 2007 3:51:25 PM > Subject: Re: Can I Mount A Windoze Drive? > > On Sun 18 Feb 2007 07:02, Drew Jenkins wrote: > > For some reason, I can no longer mount the Windoze drive!
