I tried all of the above to no avail. My first drive (Windows boot) is
fat32 but in the /etc/fstab file the drive is listed as follows:
/dev/hda / vfat user,exec,dev,suid,rw 1 1
I would think that there would be a distinction between fat16 and fat32.
When clicking on the created icon I get :
Could not mount
mount: /dev/hda already mounted or /busy
mount: according to mtab, /dev/hdb5 is already mounted on/
Again thanks for the help.
