Greetings all!

Everything I've seen on this problem has to do with pen drives and the
like, but my problem is with my external USB hard drive. I'm running
FC2 on an HP zt1175 laptop. The USB drive has two vfat partitions
detected as sda1 and sda2. I added the following entries into my
/etc/fstab file:

/dev/sda1 /mnt/fat1 vfat auto,users,umask=0 0 0
/dev/sda2 /mnt/fat2 vfat auto,users,umask=0 0 0

When my system boots, I get an error message for each partition stating
that it "is not a vaild block device." However, I can mount them both
by entering the shell and doing the following:

sudo mount -a

I have also tried the following lines in fstab, but this gave me the
same exact results:

/dev/sda1 /mnt/fat1 auto
auto,rw,uid=0,gid=501,showexec,quiet,fmask=117,dmask=007 0 0
/dev/sda2 /mnt/fat2 auto
auto,rw,uid=0,gid=501,showexec,quiet,fmask=117,dmask=007 0 0

Does anyone have any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
