and I sort of agree with someone else's previous suggestion to see if you can mount it from command line first before trying to mount via fstab.
I tried exactly as they said, and got the same error anyway: [root@localhost ~]# mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1, or too many mounted file systems
---- try without '-t vfat' and it will attempt to figure out the type by itself.
This is a dual-boot machine and boots into Windows from hda1?
does Windows -> Start -> Settings -> Control Panels -> Administrative Options -> Event Viewer -> System logs report anything on hard drive?
