Do you mean that you missed the opportunity to let the installer set up the windows partition in /etc/fstab for you? That can easily be fixed (see below). If I misunderstand you and you have in fact more severe problems (e.g. you cannot boot windows anymore) then we need more details about these problems. > I have tried to change the /etc/fstab, but it > didn't work.

OK, so the problem is really only how to mount the windows partition. > I don't want to install again. You don't have to. You just have to tell us how your windows partition is called under Linux. This will probably be something like /dev/hda1 or /dev/sda1.

I think this might mean that you are not subscribed to the list and that you want to be CC'ed in the reply, therefore I send a copy of this message to you directly. However, if you want to respond with further information or questions, please send your reply to the debian-user list and not to my own email address. Some email programs do not have a "list reply" option, so you might have to use "group reply" or "reply to all" and switch the "To:" address to debian-user manually. You probably already know that you can follow discussions on the list by reading the archive: http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2008/03/msg01963.html If you find that your email program makes it difficult to reply to the list properly, then you can have a look at the Gmane web interface: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.linux.debian.user You will see an overview of the current discussion topics on the list; your message and this reply are in there in a separate "thread". You can continue the discussion via Gmane simply by selecting a message and using the "--Action--" -> "Followup" menu in the top right corner. This will give you a web form to compose and send your reply. -- Regards, | http://users.icfo.es/Florian.Kulzer Florian | -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
