    Are any of them listed in your /etc/fstab? What does your /etc/fstab say?

    This is what my /etc/fstab says , I want the c: d: e: and cd drives to auto mount.

    Code:
    # /etc/fstab: static file system information.
    #
    # <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
    proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
    /dev/hdb6       /               ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0       1
    /dev/hdb5       none            swap    sw              0       0
    /dev/hdc        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 ro,user,noauto  0       0
    /dev/hdd        /media/cdrom1   udf,iso9660 ro,user,noauto  0       0
    /dev/fd0        /media/floppy0  auto    rw,user,noauto  0       0

    On the two CDrom lines, change the noauto to auto. As for you fat partitions, it looks like they'll need to be added manually.

    As root, run "mkdir /mnt/c"
    To your fstab, add a line that refers to the correct partition, and link it to the above directory. I would assume that your C drive would be /dev/hdb0.

    You'll have to repeat that for every partition from hdb0 through hdb4.

    If your file system is fat, use vfat as your type, if its NTFS, you have to add the libntfs5, and label them as ntfs.
