    Yes, putting a "0" in the sixth field takes care of the problem and the
    /windows file system is now mounted. thanks.

    Yes,I agree. I was not able to retreive the exact error message from
    dmesg on boot as I had rebooted again and lost that. If you can tell me
    where I can get previous boot messages (dmesg.today didn have it
    either), I will post the message for the benefit of others in case they
    have this problem.

    Thanks again.
