Mounting windows partition on FC3

My windows partitions (hda1, a vfat system; and hda2, a ntfs system) could be successfully mounted. For mounting NTFS one has to install the necessary packages from sourceforgenet. My usbdrive could be mounted as /dev/sda1. I had kept my /home unformatted as reiserfs from my previous Suse 9.

For usbdrive:

1. Look in dmesg to find the device name. 1. Look with fdisk to find out how it is partitioned. 1. create a directory if needed. /mkdir/mnt/key

Mount the device

mount /dev/sda1 /mnt/key

Here is my /etc/fstab.
