OK, I'm still confused :).
I did fdisk -l /dev/hdb, and here is what I get:
Disk /dev/hdb: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 2480 cylinders
Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System
/dev/hdb1 * 1 1023 8217216 b Win95 FAT32
/dev/hdb2 1024 2480 11703352+ f Win95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hdb5 1024 2480 11703321 b Win95 FAT32
Now, how do I mount /dev/hdb2? what should I write in /etc/fstab?
Thanks
