Ok, I did what was suggested:
1) Created a directory '/mnt/windows'
2) Mounted the directory with;
mount -t vfat /dev/hda5 /mnt/windows
3) added an entry to /etc/fstab;
/dev/hda5 /mnt/windows vfat
user,auto,exec,rw,umask=0 0 0
When I boot, I get an error that states that the partition does not
exist.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Rob Yale

This is a sample from my /etc/fstab
/dev/hdg6 /mnt/Documents vfat
user,auto,exec,rw,umask=0 0 0
if you want to be able to write to your FAT partitions while logged in
as a normal user add a "umask=0" as shown above."exec" is to allow
execution of files and "rw" is to mount your partition with read and
write permissions.
