Please accept my apologies.
fstab shows what can be (and is, in most cases) mounted. /etc/mtab shows what is mounted. Could be a permissions problem, or could be a problem with 8.2. You've attempted to mount the windows partition from the command line, both as user and as root and have failed with an error to the effect that the partition doesn't exist? Is lilo your boot manager? Does dmesg give any errors during bootup? Could you boot with Knoppix or pclinux OS and see if the windows partition is recognized? If you are getting tired of this, it might be a good time to upgrade (8.2 came with quite a few problems, IIRC. I didn't have any, but many users did.
