Sir, I know some things about fstab. I want you to read the email again.
First at all, there are two different machines. Second, my windows xp is
not running in fat, it is running in NTFS.
Thanks Diego

As root, make a mount point on your linux partition, such as:
mkdir /msdos
then,
mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 (or hdawhatever your c: partition is) /msdos
unless you are using SCSI drives then you would want:
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 (or hdawhatever your c: partition is) /msdos
This will allow you to access your Windoze partition via Linux.
To make this automatically happen you need to edit your fstab. More
info is available in by typing at the linux prompt:
man fstab
