Hi Joy, It should work just fine. If you have entries in /etc/fstab, then for the mount command you need only specify either the device OR the mount point. So for your example either: mount /dev/hda1 or mount /mnt/win_c It looks like maybe you fstab lines are not quite right. Try: /dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat defaults,users,auto 0 0 Note that there are no commas before or between the two '0's. You probably should add: uid=<your_uid> to the options, where <your_uid> is your user name or id number (probably 500). So your line would then be: /dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat defaults,users,auto,uid=500 0 0 If you still have problems, please write back with details. Saying it does not work properly is not going to get you very far usually. Will it not mount? Can you not access it? etc. Jonathan
