Okay, again, I am in NT. :( I wish I had received
this message while I was still at home. You need to
add the user parameter toward the end of the entry
in your /etc/fstab and you will have what you want.
It will mount the partitions upon bootup and it will
be accessible to normal users.

Todd,
This is what my fstab file looks like:
/dev/hda5 / ext2 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/dev/hda7 /home ext2 defaults 1 2
/mnt/cdrom /mnt/cdrom supermount fs=iso9660,dev=/dev/cdrom
0 0 /mnt/floppy /mnt/floppy supermount fs=vfat,dev=/dev/fd0
0 0
Thanks for the help Alan. My windows partition is now available to me, but
it is still read-only. I added the line in /etc/fstab just as you suggested:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs user,exec,umask=0 0 0
and I can see it fine, but it is still read-only, both to myself, and as root.
So close

You can add this mounting to your /etc/fstab file.
This will cause Linux to mount windows upon booting.
You need to add the users permission to allow users
to mount/umount the drive. I don't remember the exact
syntax (unfortunately, I am in NT right now), but you
will see others in /etc/fstab

Hi all. Just installed Mandrake 6. My hard drive has a Linux partition
under /dev/hda2. When I tried to mount it I typed mount -t win95fat32
It's -t vfat, not win95fat32.
