Make an entry for the partition in /etc/fstab
see 'man fstab' for more details.

Maybe this will help. It will mount under /media though.

I didn't want to tinker with any of the default HALD settings. So, if
you just drop this in /usr/share/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/ your ntfs
drives should be automounted (provided you have NTFS support).
Best,

Thanks, Mostafa. My MS Windows partition is fat32 formatted.

Then you just need to change the options accordingly.
<match key="volume.partition.msdos_part_table_type"
int="0x07">
will probably become
<match key="volume.partition.msdos_part_table_type"
int="0x0b">
or if you use LBA
<match key="volume.partition.msdos_part_table_type"
int="0x0c">
Also, you will want to change the 'umask', 'ro', and other options as
you see fit.

A simpler fix (IMHO) is to add a line like this to your /etc/fstab
/dev/hdc5 /media/windows vfat
pamconsole,users,exec 0 0
Just change the /dev/hdc5 to wherever your vfat partition is located.
This will do what you want though it is slightly less elegant, as the
hal fixes will autofind any vfat partitions you make.

as root, mkdir /windows/c
From my /etc/fstab:
/dev/sda1 /windows/c ntfs users,owner,ro,umask=000 0 0
You'd use /dev/hda1 for the Windows C: drive

However, I'm not sure "where" the windows partition "is", except
that
I can't change directory to /dev/hda1, so I know it's not there.
Everything above is from my actual fstab except the last line to mount
the vfat/FAT32/windows partition.
The files /dev/hda and /dev/hda1 and /dev/hda3 are empty, and
shouldn't they be directories, not files? My FC3 system's a bit
mucked up somehow.

It's mounted where your fstab file says: /mnt/windows
The /dev/hda1 bit is the hardware location, you won't be able to
"browse" that directly.

How do I know that /dev/hda1 is the windows partition?
If my fstab is in error about the partitions, just on that last line
for the vfat partition location, will it have side effects?

THUFIR HAWAT:

I was assuming that fstab was written correctly, and that you were just
trying to access the drive incorrectly.

It's options were set to mount it read-only, so you shouldn't be able to
do any harm if you've mounted the wrong partition.
As root, type in the following command line, and it'll list the
partitions on your system. If it's not /dev/hda1, you can try the
others it lists. (That's a small letter L after the dash, not a number
one).
e.g. fdisk -l

results of fstab-l:
Disk /dev/hda: 30.7 GB, 30750031872 bytes
255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 3738 cylinders

So, thank you. I made it read/write for the vfat partition and am
backing up my data prior to a FC4 upgrade. Gee, FC1,2,3,4, it's a bit
much. I'm thinking of switching to Gentoo. I guess I don't really
need to upgrade, but might as well.
Thanks,
