Interesting situation.
When I originally partitioned my hard drive I created it in the Disk
Drake utility during setup. It was created w/ a 5GB win drive, followed
by a 250MB /boot, 250MB swap, and 4GB ext3 / drive, and the other 8GB
was created into another win partition. Well after having decid

Now this all makes sense except for one tiny little detail.
I had already changed the file system type to ext3, and have files on it
now. with the ability to set permissions and ownership as well. I've got
about 2GBs of data on there I can access once it's mounted.
even though I've already change
Ok, what does your /etc/fstab look like. Let's start there.

(I'm sorry if there are typos... copying doesn't work in KDE between
Evolution and Konqueror)
/dev/hda7 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda5 /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
none /dev/shm tempfs defaults 0 0
/dev/scd0 /mnt/cdrom auto *gibberish*
/dev/hdd /mnt/hdd /mnt/cdrom2 *G
Ok, that looks excessive, but workable. Personally, I'd do away with all
the options on /winex, you really don't need them. But it shouldn't stop
it from loading.
Now, since the filesystem level looks ok (allowing that the ext3
partition was set up correctly, and the journal was created (?)...

OK: here we go.
Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 2498 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes

Nevermind, kill the thread :) I figured it out.
I went into the fstab file and did what I suggested earlier, switch all
that giberish to default 1 3. Worked beautifully.
Thanks for helping me through this troubled mess.

Let's imagine this situation: 2 HD, 3 partitions on the first one (FAT32,
ReiserFS and swap) and one on the second one (FAT32).
I decide to use the 2nd HD for Linux, so I format it as ReiserFS, but that
HD is too big to use it only for /home so I decide to mount it in two (or
three) points: /ho
