Still looking for the old d: drive...

I still haven't been able to get my computer with RH-Linux 8.0 to
recognize the old d: drive (which still has files on it from the drive's
former life as a W-98SE machine).  System data is as follows:


Drive /dev/hda (Geom: 4863/255/63) (Model: Maxtor ST040H4)

Disk Information

Device          Start    End     Size (MB)
/dev/hda
  hda1           1       13        102 ext13
  hda3           14      94        635 linux-swap
                 95      446      2761 Free space
  hda2           447     4863    34648 Extended
    hda6         447     2066    12708 ext3
      hda5       2067    4863    21940 FAT


When I tried:
/etc/fstab  - I got:

LABEL=/       /            ext3    defaults        1 1
LABEL=/boot   /boot        ext3    defaults        1 2
none          /dev/pts     devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
none          /proc        proc    defaults        0 0
none          /dev/shm     tmpfs   defaults        0 0
/dev/hda3     swap         swap    defaults        0 0
/dev/cdrom    /mnt/cdrom   iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0      /mnt/floppy  auto    noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0

- so I tried adding:

/dev/hda5     /mnt/win_d   vfat    auto,users,uid=chuck,gid=chuck 0 0

- but it didn't work.


Taking a wild guess I tried:

LABEL=/       /            ext3    defaults        1 1
LABEL=/boot   /boot        ext3    defaults        1 2
none          /dev/pts     devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
none          /proc        proc    defaults        0 0
none          /dev/shm     tmpfs   defaults        0 0
/dev/hda3     swap         swap    defaults        0 0
/dev/cdrom    /mnt/cdrom   iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0      /mnt/floppy  auto    noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0
/dev/hda2     /mnt/win_d   vfat    defaults        0 0
/dev/hda6     /mnt/win_e   vfat    defaults        0 0
/dev/hda5     /mnt/win_f   vfat    defaults        0 0

- to no avail.


When you've stopped gasping for breath from rolling around on the floor
laughing, could (maybe, please - please...) let me know what to do to
get that data mounted?
