    fstab and mounting windows partitions.

    Ok..

    I am trying to mount my Windows partitions but I keep getting this error.

    [mntent]: warning: no final newline at the end of /etc/fstab
    mount: can't find /dev/hda6 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab
    Please check that the disk is entered correctly.


    this is my etc/fstab file. is there something wrong with it?

    # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
    #
    # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
    proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
    /dev/hdb2 / reiserfs notail 0 1
    /dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0
    /dev/sda /media/usb0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
    /dev/hda1 //mnt/winxp ntfs ro,auto,uid=1000,gid=1000 0 0

        Follow these instructions:

        Every time they tell you to type gedit, just type kwrite instead.

          I have managed to work around it..... I think it was becuase my windows were partiioned as lvm's, not actual drives...

          After spending 2 days re-organising my drives, and installing kubuntu 5.10 ... and making sure i have access to all the drives it all works now....

          Thanks again for everybodys help..
