I installed Fedora 7 over an old copy of Windows. What would I put in the

type f partition which is defined at Win '95 Ext'd (LBA) partition.

I though of using mount -t /dev/hda4 /mnt/hda4

but it doesn't work.

Any ideas?

ask mount to tell you what it needs. Click up a terminal
su - root

mount -t auto /dev/hda4 /mnt/hda4
mount | grep /mnt/hda4

Now you should be able to see the type VALUE to use in /etc/fstab

umount /mnt/hda4


Make your modifications to /etc/fstab, then test with
mount /mnt/hda4
.
