you got two entries for your win_c partition. use only this entry:

/dev/hda1  /mnt/win_c ntfs defaults,umask=0 0 0

????:huh:

 

are you sure you are trying to do this as root and not as normal user?

[Guest LordBrit]

I dont have a root account

 

i somehow managed to Merge my root and admin account together

 

meaning he can acess most files, but win_c and etc/fstab arent ones of them

just a second:... if you installed mandrake, you DO have a root account. open e.g. a terminal and type "su", then you will be asked for the root password. so there must be root

 

every linux-distro either has root or sudo commands (or both). the only exception i can imagine are linux-boxes that are completely custom built (= from scratch) and lack such feature due to bad planning.

 

and you should NEVER give normal users root powers. it will irreparably ruin your system sooner or later. ;)

i HAD a root user

 

but not anymore

isint there someway i can edit files threw the su command in root

 

or even add my root acct?

[arctic]

as long as there is the su command, there is root. but to be honest... i should tell you to reinstall your system from scratch due to security and as a learning lesson.

 

if you can still type "su" and then perform tasks with root access, simply start an editor like kedit, kwrite or gedit as su. then open the /etc/fstab file and modify it. if that does not work, i guess you ruined your system in a marvelous way.

[Guest LordBrit]

OK, i got it open in Kwrite , managed to edit and save it

 

now looks like this

 

/dev/hdb1 / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec 0 0
/dev/hdd /mnt/cdrom2 auto user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,noauto,ro,exec 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda1  /mnt/win_c ntfs defaults,umask=0 0 0

 

But still, wont let me acess it
