I have SuSE 7.3 pro installed and a dual boot situation on my hard drive - there are entries in fstab for the C and D drives that are on the Win2K side of my machine - but when I try to "mount" them, I get an error saying "no such mount point"

This may be one of the few times an error message actually describes pretty correct what is the error ;-)

mkdir <mount point>

should do it, of course replacing mount point with the mentioned mount point in the error, or in /etc/fstab.

There's no need to have 2K and linux writing to each other's installations. That's what additional FAT32 partitions (or a separate Windows boot
