In Access Windows partitions, I suggested inserting this line into /etc/fstab:
/dev/hda8 /windata vfat user,umask=000,rw 0 0
Notice that there are six sections to the above line, each separated by a space (notice also that there are no spaces after the commas). Here’s what each of those sections are:
<partition name> <mount point> <partition type> <mount options> <backup dump> <pass>
