First manually mount your partitions using 'mount' to insure you have the correct options. Then once you have the correction options, add them to your /etc/fstab file and when you reboot, the partitions are mounted automatically. Here's an example from my /etc/fstab file. I have a dual boot system and mount all my M$ drives when booting linux. In /etc/fstab /dev/hda5 /Dr_C vfat w 0 0 /dev/hda5 = linux partition for MS logical drive /Dr_C = linux mount directory (my MS "C" drive) vfat = MS filesystem type (Partition was formatted as vfat32) w = writable (read is assumed) 0 = ? I've forgotten 0 = do not auto fschck on mount You can also "man fstab" for more info.
