How do I make this happen automatically at start-up? To always have Linux mount the vfat partition you need to add an entry to the /etc/fstab file which is where all the filesystems to mount are defined. You need to do this as root, since this file is protected. Add a line like: /dev/<disk> <mount_point> vfat defaults 0 0 Replace <disk> with the drive partition name (usually /dev/hda1) and <mount_point> with where in the directory hierarchy you want the disk mounted (something like /dos). Most installations will add such a line for you during the OS install, but the mount options may be set to "noauto". If you already have such a line in /etc/fstab, just remove the "noauto" option and the Windows partition will mount at the next reboot. -- Smoot Carl-Mitchell System/Network Architect email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] cell: +1 602 421 9005 home: +1 480 922 7313
