Ok so now i have edited the fstab file but when i do 'mount -a' i get told line 7 and 8 in the fstab are bad. Line 7 and 8 are about my 2 windows partitions and looks like this:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat user,umask=0,defaults 0 0 /dev/hdb1 /mnt/win_c2 vfat user,umask=0,defaults 0 0 Can anybody tell me why i get this message and what i need to do sort it out so i can read/write to both my windows partitions.
