Tip: "im new and i need help" isn't a very helpful subject, "mounting slave drives on boot" would be much more useful.

I suggest you read the fstab man page (man fstab) and edit /etc/fstab

1) that's REALLY sad

2) you did it wrong anyway, you changed the title of the first post, not the thread title... for example:

nerrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Anyway... Yeah, no problem. First, have the other two drives been formated for FAT, ext2, ext3? I assume one of them is FAT since 98 is on there.

Also, which drives are which? Which is primary master, which primary slave, secondary master, secondary slave?

Cheers,

It has a section on editing your fstab file to mount Windows partitions at boot.
