1st, create a directory to mount to - I use /mnt/dos1.  Then create and entry like :

/dev/hda1       /mnt/dos1       default msdos           default   0     0       


Then when rebooting the partition at hda1 will be mounted and available at /mnt/dos1. 
You could also test it by entering "mount /dev/hda1" (or whatever the device is).  It 
should map it using the info from fstab. If running fat32 you may need to use vfat as 
a type instead of msdos.  A SCSI drive would be prefixed as SD, i.e. /dev/sda1.  Note: 
The third letter of a device is the drive location, the number is the partition 
number.  A=1st drive, 1=1st partition.

Can someone give me an example of their fstab entry ( preferably one
with an entry for mounting a windows partition) so that i can see what i
am doing wrong. Thanks.
