| Get rid of the first line, and see if that helps. |

Off the top of my head:
| Code: |
/dev/hda2 / ext3 noatime 0 1
/dev/hdb1 / vfat,defaults 0 0
|
Maybe create a /windows directory and edit your fstab to look like:
| Code: |
#Device Mount Type Options Dump/Pass
/dev/hda2 / ext3 noatime 0 1
/dev/hdb1 /windows vfat defaults 0 0
|
There was also an extraneous comma in there which I removed. HTH  |

it did not help.
I want to add my second hard drive to my fstab. I did a mkdir /mnt/hdb and mount it but it mounts it as my root partition which is already mounted in hda.
The filesystem on my 2nd drive is vfat . |

for some reason now, hdb1 displays the contents of hda. It is like it is mounted on the /root too . |

You seem to be trying to mount several things as /... try the following:
| Code: | /dev/hda1 /boot ext2 noauto,noatime 1 2
/dev/hda2 / ext3 noatime 0 1
/dev/hda3 swap swap defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /proc/bus/usb usbfs defaults 0 0
/dev/cdroms/cdrom0 /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,user 0 0
/dev/hdb1 /windows vfat defaults 0 0 |
It's basically the same as yours, but edited for easier reading, and changed in places...

it keeps mounting my hdb as hda. I do not have windows on that drive only DVD movies. When i open the drive it displays the contents of hda |

| The problem is that you're trying to mount several filesystems over /, where you can only mount one. If hdb1 isn't windows, then change /windows to (eg) /mnt/storage in Maedhros' example. Then the contents of that drive should appear inside /mnt/storage. You'll have to make the directory first, of course. |

| So when you do a mount /windows, and then do a ls /windows you don't see your windows files? |
