After reboot some windows vfat partitions are not showing up in 'My Computer'. I looked in fstab and there is no line defining a mount point for the partition. Is there a simple way for a user to configure fstab through a GUI interface so that these partitions will show up in 'My Computer'. The user/s are not that familiar with linux.

YaST/System/Partitioner. There, select the partition and hit Edit. In Mount point, type in the desired mounting point. Be sure to select "Do not format" ! Then, click "Fstab options". In the "Arbitr. options" you can add this: gid=xxxx,umask=002 where xxxx is the numeric ID for the "users" group. Or you can create a separate group in which you can put the users with write permissions for that partition, and replace xxxx with this ID. This will make this partition to be mounted on boot, with owner like root:users, and will allow members of group "users" to write in it.
