Oh, and in case you'd like to see /etc/fstab from a system with a working, mounted Windows partition, here's the one from my lifepartner's machine I just sshed over to:
<code>
LABEL=/ / ext2 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext2 defaults 1 2
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
/dev/hdd6 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/drivec vfat defaults 0 0
none /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs defaults 0 0
</code>

I wonder if there's some arcane reason why the mount point for a FAT can't be in the file system root?
