Cant find windows partitions

[Stryder]

I am trying to mount my windows partitions but i get the following error

can't find /dev/hda1 in /etc/fstab or /etc/mtab

here is my fstab

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda4 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hda6 /home ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/hda5 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
/dev/hdd /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0

I was wondering why hda1 through hda3 are not showing up

Thanks for your help

So what you want. Answer of why they are not showing up or answer of how to mount them ? ;)

if you want to know how to mount them, then post the output of sudo fdisk -l

here is the info form fdisk -l

Partition table entries are not in disk order

Your Windows partitions won't automatically show up in /etc/fstab--you have to put them in there. Type these commands in (I'm assuming you want FAT32 mounted to a folder called /documents and NTFS mounted to a folder called /xp--you can change these folder names to be whatever you want, but you have to modify the commands accordingly):


sudo mkdir /xp
sudo mkdir /documents
sudo cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab_backup
sudo kwrite /etc/fstab Once you're in KWrite, add these two lines in:
/dev/hda1 /documents vfat umask=000 0 0
/dev/hda2 /xp ntfs nls=utf8,umask=0222 0 0 Save the file. Then type
sudo mount -a
