No no no... NEVER fsck vfat file systems, totally unnecessary (let
windows do that).

Mount them at bootup like this:

/dev/hda1 /mnt/cee vfat noauto,owner,gid=500,rw 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/dee vfat noauto,owner,gid=500,rw 0 0

Note the "0 0", which means "never check this filesystem at bootup".

Actual the 5 field is for the dump backup program. The sixth is fsck. So really only the last 0 is needed. see man fstab
