You need to create the directories for the mount points (/windows/C and /windows/E). The partition in /dev/ad0s3 is my FAT32 partition which is the writable one - you don't want the ntfs filesystem to be writable.if you want the FAT32 (msdosfs) parition to be writeable, then /windows/E must be a writable mount directory. You of course, should use your own device (/dev/ad0s*) names as they are going to be different from mine. Once you have these in your /etc/fstab they will automatically mount on boot (as configured this way). If you don't want to reboot after editing the file, you can always just do a : mount /windows/E To manually mount...or umount /windows/E to umount it. The configuration I have just described is how I wanted to set it up on my system, but others may have different opinions/setups. Good luck. -Kevin Snip The english seems fine to me for examples of what you really don't want to go here. That being said i personally wouldn't have even noticed the little flub there so it wasn't an issue. Thanks though for saying something anyway.

Please provide the error text and the output of uname -a if this doesn't work, but... Are you certain that it's a FAT32 disk and not an NTFS? Windows XP, for instance, can use the NTFS file system(my Home edition does by default). That said, there is a problem with your mount syntax. That or I can't figure out exactly what you're typing. I don't know which of your disk partitions is which. I'm going to give examples as though /dev/ad0s1 is the Windows partition and /dev/ad0s2 is the FreeBSD slice; in /dev, such a slice would show up with letters after the slice number to indicate the FreeBSD partition, such as /dev/ad0s2a, ad0s2c, ad0s2d... etc. (I believe b is not currently used, left open for convention; a is for the / partition; and c is swap. This is all convention, but it's convention the FreeBSD installer's auto-partition option in fdisk would adhere to.) Anyway, if the Windows partition is indeed /dev/ad0s1, make sure /mnt/win1 exists and try the following as root: mount -r -t msdosfs /dev/ad0s1 /mnt/win1 This will attempt to mount the device read-only, which may at least be a stepping stone. If this doesn't work, you can also try using NTFS(just in case), thus: mount -r -t ntfs /dev/ad0s1 /mnt/win1 If either works, then you will be able to: mount -uw /mnt/win1 and update the already-mounted filesystem to read-write. If you can get this working, Mr Kevin Smith has given an excellent example of how to place an entry into your /etc/fstab file. In fact, it might be easier to put that entry in /etc/fstab and then simply type: mount -a to automatically mount the unmounted entries in the fstab. If this doesn't work, please post the exact error text and what you typed to receive it. Also, the output of ls /dev/ad* may be helpful, and as I mentioned above, uname -a never is amiss. -BB ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Rizal, You can set all this up very easily in your fstab file instead of typing the command to mount the file systems (unless you just want access it temporarily). Here are the entries that I have in my /etc/fstab: /dev/ad0s1 /windows/C ntfs ro 2 0 /dev/ad0s3 /windows/E msdosfs rw 0 0 (You don't need the 2, it can be 0) You need to create the directories for the mount points (/windows/C and /windows/E).
