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. naveen |

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 |

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. naveen |
