Hi Bob,
Thank you for you quick answer, I really appreciate it. It seems that -t option is mandatory. I typed "mount /dev/hda8 /mnt/win" and I got this message : "mount : you must specify the filesystem type".
that -t option is not *always* mandatory. as i recall, the mount command should be smart enough to recognize ext? filesystems, as well as DOS and ISO9660, without any help.
are you saying it needs help with a vfat filesystem? that surprises me.

Here is my fstab... It's working fine. Look on win_c and win_d, they are partitions of master IDE HD running WinMe.
