Hello,

I'm having trouble remounting an external 250GB hard drive after
removing it.  I keep getting the error:

[mntent]: line 1 in /etc/fstab is bad
mount: can't find /dev/sdc1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

The results of fdsk -l:

Disk /dev/sda: 80.0 GB, 80026361856 bytes

This is what my  /etc/fstab looks like:

/etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/sda5

/dev/scd0 /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto,exec 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto,exec 0 0

Do I need to edit /etc/fstab?  If so, what do I need to add or
delete?  Is there any other way to get the external hard drive to
mount without using fstab?
Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jack
