/dev/hda6 / reiserfs defaults 1 1
/dev/hda7 /home reiserfs defaults 1 2

I installed a 2nd hard drive for backup. I learned from someone in this
group about Acronis backup software. It runs on windows but backs up
Rieser partitions as well, so, i installed it and backed up all of hda.
I placed the entry in the above fstab /dev/hdb1.....,then,
as root mkdir -p /windows/f (because that's what windows called the 2nd
hard drive).

Problem is, with the desktop icon and in the folder /windows/f, i cannot
see what's on hdb1.

Question is, what's wrong here and what changes have to be made so I can
see what's in /windows/f---I can see what's in hda1 and even play mp3's
off it and i would like to use some of the space on /hdb1 for more mp3
files.
