This very subject with examples has been discussed umteen times on this
list in the last 2 weeks, everything from small to the pount mails to
very long explanatary mails, it suprises me to see that you once again have
missed them, do you not read what you receive.
Anyway you need to mount the partition on which windows is located, an
example would be;
/dev/hda1 /windows vfat noauto 0 0
The above goes into /etc/fstab
You then use the mount command as follows.
mount /windows
The example means;
The first partition on the first drive has windows on it.
You must have a directory named "windows" located in the root filesystem
the command to create that is;
mkdir /windows
the partiton will be mounted using the vfat filesystem.
noauto tells linux not to mount the drive at boottime.
0 0 tells fsck to do nothing with the drive.
Of course you can place the directory windows where ever you want, but then
the entery in /etc/fstab must reflect to where you place the directory.
