Hello, I believe the options in /etc/fstab should be: defaults,rw ? Not defaults [dot] rw

Thanks for correcting me ,with the mistake.Now no error were logged and directories were mounted. :-) But the File Sytem type is still FAT16.what's the issue with file system type. I formated the /dev/hdc12 using /mkfs.ext3 /but the file system shown is still FAT16.
/[root@localhost etc]# mkfs.ext3 /dev/hdc12 mke2fs 1.39 (29-May-2006) Filesystem label= OS type: Linux Block size=4096 (log=2) Fragment size=4096 (log=2) 2289280 inodes, 4570484 blocks 228524 blocks (5.00%) reserved for the super user First data block=0 Maximum filesystem blocks=0 140 block groups 32768 blocks per group, 32768 fragments per group 16352 inodes per group Superblock backups stored on blocks: 32768, 98304, 163840, 229376, 294912, 819200, 884736, 1605632, 2654208, 4096000 Writing inode tables: done Creating journal (32768 blocks): done Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done This filesystem will be automatically checked every 25 mounts or 180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.
But what is the partition type set to? If they are set to 0x04 they will show up as fat16, for ext2/3 they need to be 0x83.
Thanks for replying,as i'm too new to linux i dont know how to set the partition type,i just google for things and move ahead.Can you please let me know how to get this done or what all you meant.After Scott's comments i just goggled and found parted,which showed partitions type as FAT32,this is just opposite to one shown by fdisk -l.

Please help me grow...!
If you run fdisk /dev/hdc, you can change the partition types. At the fdisk prompt, a "p" will list the partition table. From there you use "t" to change a partition type. Ext2/3 partitions are type 83 and linux swap is type 82. Make sure you only change the partitions that you wanted to be ext3, and not your windows partitions. A "w" will write the new table and exit, and a "q" exits without writing if you make a mistake. A "m" gives a list of choices (menu).
