what am i doing wrong????

[Smokin]

i have been trying to mount 2 drives with no luck. i have followed all the directions from forums i've seen. I have created 2 folders in my /mnt folder for the 2 drives im trying to install. when i go to edit the etc/fstab file and i save it i keep getting errors about the flooppy or some newline nonsence. I have installed the latest rpm for the ntfs, but i still cant get it working, could somebody please show me a diagram with what to write would be greatly appreciated

You will probably want to backup /etc/fstab beforehand.

Here's an example of a ntfs entry:

/dev/hda2               /mnt/ntfs                      ntfs    users  0 0

It mounts the second partition of the master hard drive at /mnt/ntfs and should allow anybody to mount it.

If you have Fedora CD1 keep it handy. Boot from it and run

linux rescue

and you should get a text environment to recover.

If you feel brave see the man page for mount with the

man mount

command.

what are you trying to mount....cd-roms?......hard drives?.....usbflash?

and did you try to mount as root?
