have to mount every time i boot- need help

hi,
I am running a 'windows xp' and 'fedora core4' on my computer. I have mounted the windows drive on Fedora. But the problem is i have to mount the drives every time i boot.
I have used "mount /dev/hdax /home/winp" (x->drive no.s.) to mount the drives ..
please help me regarding this.

System specs
You have to put the coresponding entry in the /etc/fstab file. It would look something like this:
Code:
/dev/hdax /home/winxp ntfs defaults 0 0
That is assuming your WIndows filesystem is ntfs. Instead of defaults you may want to put some options like ro or uid=

hi

My filesystem is 'W95 FAT32'. I updated the /etc/fstab file with
"/dev/hda5 /home/winp FAT32 defaults 0 0"
while booting it said: unrecognizable partition(something like that)
I also tried " /dev/hda5 /home/winp W95 FAT32 defaults 0 0"
while booting it said : line 9 is bad(something like that, it was the 9th line of 'fstab')
But it didnt work. am i missing something.

/dev/hdax /home/winxp vfat defaults 0 0

That should do it I believe
