One last question:

As I posted above, the output of "fdisk -l" shows
/dev/hda and /dev/hdb.

What is the diffrence hda and hdb?I didnt create hdb.
Can I remove hdb?

Sorry for any inconvinience
Hi, no inconvenience,

It looks as if You have secondary hard disk, a "slave" on Your primary IDE-interface. And it appears to have Windows partitions on it. If You don't want it You can of course delete them and make Linux partitions on them with fdisk. Or You can mount them as they are, just to see what's there.

try
mkdir /mnt/tmp
mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb5 /mnt/tmp

and so on...

/L

NAME
mount.nfs, mount.nfs4 - mount a Network File System SYNOPSIS
mount.nfs remotetarget dir [-rvVwfnsh ] [-o options] DESCRIPTION
mount.nfs is a part of nfs(5) utilities package, which provides NFS client functionality. mount.nfs is meant to be used by the mount(8) command for mounting NFS shares. This subcommand, however, can also be used as a standalone command with limited functionality. mount.nfs4 is used for mounting NFSv4 file system, while mount.nfs is used to mount NFS file systems versions 3 or 2. remotetarget is a server share usually in the form of servername:/path/to/share. dir is the directory on which the file system is to be mounted. OPTIONS
-r Mount file system readonly. -v Be verbose. -V Print version. -w Mount file system read-write. -f Fake mount. Don't actually call the mount system call. -n Do not update /etc/mtab. By default, an entry is created in /etc/mtab for every mounted file system. Use this option to skip making an entry. -s Tolerate sloppy mount options rather than fail. -h Print help message. nfsoptions Refer to nfs(5) or mount(8) manual pages. NOTE
For further information please refer nfs(5) and mount(8) manual pages. FILES
