You missed a space between vfat and the device. What does the correct command produce?
It says : mount point /media/sdb1 doesn't excist.
You need to create the directory for the mountpoint and make sure it has the right permissions (presumably rwxrwxrwx) Dylan
here is /etc/fstab
/dev/hda3 / reiserfs defaults 1 2 /dev/hda1 /boot ext2 defaults 1 2 /dev/cdrecorder /media/cdrecorder auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 /dev/sdb1 /media/sdb1 auto noauto,user,exec 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts defaults 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto ro,noauto,user,exec 0 0 proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs noauto 0 0 /dev/hda2 swap swap pri=42 0 0
