Okay, the current /etc/fstab file has this entry in it: /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat rw,noauto,user,uid=512,gid=1002 0 0 When I run "mount -a", I get no errors. But when go to the /mnt/windows directory at the command line, it's empty. In Nautilus, I get an icon for the new drive, but if I click on it, I get that same error as before: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda, or too many mounted file systems I had no trouble before with CentOS detecting and using a Fat32 external hard drive, connected by firewire. Why is this drive behaving differently? Dave
