Okay, I just realized /etc/fstab is a file.  I opened it with KWrite 
to see what's in it and all of the Windows drives are showing up as 
"vfat" drives; as in:

dev=/dev/fd0,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/win_d vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0
/dev/hda6 /mnt/win_e vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0
/dev/hda7 /mnt/win_f vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0

This looks okay.  Is it?

What else to try?
