Sometimes while being a user you need to do a command that only su can do.
While stdying su it seems there is a way to do this. I have problems to make

The dir name in /mnt is win_c in this case - you can create any dir name you

man90-hde5, etc.
Then I edit the fstab with the new names -

Eventually after a lot of grief I tried to mount
