i am just double clicking the drives in My Computer.
thats how i use my external hdd partitions.
i dont know what entries are to be made in /etc/fstab.
actually i am a newbie in linux. so dont know much about it.
Also i cannot write to the external hdd partitions. it is read only.
ok, i somehow managed to insert the lines in /etc/fstab.
now i am able to access all my partitions.
but i still cant write to them.
here is my /etc/fstab file
