    I don't understand what the tabfs file means.

    please tell me how to find the information that the file needs.

    Vergil83 provided a link:
    http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html were you can read about the fstab file.
    In short, fstab is a file in /etc directory were you define which filesystems will be mounted (made accessible) and how they will be mounted.
    please tell me how to find the information that the file needs.
    If you want Linux to automatically mount your Windows partition, so you can browse it, include this line at the end of your fstab file:
    Code:
    /dev/hda1       /mnt/windows    ntfs    user,umask=0222 0       0
    Edit: you will also have to create a directory named windows in your /mnt directory.

    You also probably need to add ntfs support by running
    Code:
    apt-get install libntfs5
    . That only allows you to read information from the Windows NTFS partition, you can't write with it. There are attempts to get Linux to write to NTFS partitions but I don't know if any of them are safe and stable yet. If you want to be able to access Linux data from windows, it is possible to add a driver for your Linux file system to Windows.
