"mount -a" as root should mount everything listed in /etc/fstab. Remember that when you create a new partition, you have to create a filesystem on it before you can use it (see man mke2fs). If it still doesn't work, I suggest you post your /etc/fstab and the *entire* output from fdisk -l on the drive concerned. > An interesting observation.

I very much doubt it, although I've never used the NT-based variants of Windoze. I don't know what's going on there. Sorry.
