There are various startup scripts that are somewhat more advanced than
autoexec.bat. One of these scripts will read the contents of /etc/fstab
and mount file systems that are listed there. Under Red Hat you can edit
this file manually or use the graphical tool that you will find under
linuxconfig, file systems, access local drive.
A sample line if /etc/fstab might be:
/dev/hda1 /dosc vfat defaults,umask=000
The umask 000 gives read, write, execute access to all users. That may
be appropriate for a home mechine where you are the only user.
