Here is my /etc/fstab. I don't remember, whether I wrote the last line
by myself. But with the program testdisk partition 2 is a FAT32 LBA.

Perhaps you know now, how I can bring my windows partition to work. I
really only need it for dragon naturally speaking and cdex. I haven't
tried grip yet.

I have changed my /etc/fstab to vfat and rmdir the directory win on mnt,
so that it is only /mnt now, but I still can't find my windows partition
under linux.

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.

# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
/dev/hda4       /               reiserfs notail          0       1
/dev/hda3       none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/hdc        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0
/dev/hda2       /mnt/win        vfat  rw,noauto            0    0


If you can help me further on, I would be very pleased.


Thank you,
Hans




what errors are you getting when you run:
sudo mount /mnt/win

also, what is the output of  fdisk -l
