[mail2and]

first create a folder say "C" in /home or wherever u like..


suppose u want to mount C:

go to terminal.... and type

mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /home/C

for dhda5) type

mount -t vfat /dev/hda5 /home/D

"D" being another folder in /home

now to auto-mount the partitions every time u start up...

go to /etc and edit the fstab file

add the following 2 lines at the end and save the file:



mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /home/C defaults 0 0
mount -t vfat /dev/hda5 /home/D defaults 0 0



Similarly u can deal with ur E:[hda6] and so on.....


hope this helps u...

To check the partition informations, fire in
fdisk -l

[vasanth_12345]

Tried it, but i get an error

i have prepared a photocopy of it


[root@localhost root]# mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /home/C
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1,
or too many mounted file systems
(could this be the IDE device where you in fact use
ide-scsi so that sr0 or sda or so is needed?)
[root@localhost root]#

[firestarter]

What kind of Hard Disk you are using !! May be it is a SCSI one.
Fire in fdisk -l and paste the results here.

how is ur hdd connected ?
use options for which one is ur config
primary master : hda
primary slave : hdb
secondary master : hdc
secondary slave : hdd

[pradeep_chauhan]

Remember sata disk is also seen as a scsi disk so in place of hda use sda that the only change.

Nop it's aide one,i have attached my harddisk as a master anyway how do you find whether the harddisk is aprimary master or secondary master

[klinux]

u can check during while booting the pc . or just enter the bios and see whether the hdd containing linux is listed as primary master or secondary master .

[vasanth_12345]

O.K i was able to mount the partition u were right .The harddisk was a secondary master.But i was not able to edit the "fstab" file i was logged in as root further i have a intex "rtl 8139d lan card".Although i got the drivers from the net i dont know how to install it pls help I am not able to play the mp3 files in xmms pls help

[mail2and]

http://heidelberg.freshrpms.net/rpm.html?id=402

download this file (xmms-mp3-1.2.10-9.1.1.fc3.fr.i386.rpm)

in terminal type...

rpm -ivh xmms-mp3-1.2.10-9.1.1.fc3.fr.i386.rpm



Now go to:

Options|Preferences|Audio I/O Plugins


MPEG Layer 1/2/3 Placeholder Plugin


Uncheck the enable button next to this....

and ur done with xmms

try editing the fstab file with another text editor.... it'll surely be edited if ur logged in as root....

[hafees]

hi

remember fstab is in /etc

cd /etc
then use gedit or vi

gedit fstab
or
vi fstab
and then save the changes. it is done

[vasanth_12345]
