The partition has Windows XP on it, and it boots fine and as far as I can tell operates without any problems. I don't think that drive has any intrinsic errors on it. I've run chkdisk and scandisk and defragmented the drive, and I don't know what else I can do in Windows to make sure the drive is okay. All indications are that it's alright.
I there anything else I can do Linux-side to mount this partition?
---- let's assume that it isn't mounted...(if mounted, 'umount /dev/hda1')
fdisk -l /dev/hda
does fdisk agree that it's a Fat volume? What type?
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.
