Mounting the whole disk (i.e. hdc) works for cdrom, not for hard disk. For these, you can only mount the partition (i.e hdc1).
How would the kernel know where to mount your partitions if you did't tell explicitely?

You're welcome (grin)
derek: It's ide-scsi. Which I don't really understand, since it's a standard ATA CD-ROM, but I commented-out the line anyway, which didn't make a difference after reboot. Symptoms unchanged. I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean when you say use /dev/hdd instead. Do you mean I should remove the ide-scsi line I currently have commented out and replace it with a line pointing to /dev/hdc? This doesn't seem correct, because the CD-ROM currently works perfectly. (If it was plugged in and the line in /etc/fstab uncommented.)
HarM: Are you sure it would be /dev/hdc and not /dev/hdc1? The HD is partitioned into several volumes. (I have tried mounting /dev/hdc, /dev/hdc1, /dev/hdc2, etc. with no change.) Plus DiskDrake still doesn't show me any tab for /dev/hdc.
Yes, I'm sure...that way you mount the whole disk i.e. all partitions.
