Sorry, Rick, I don't understand :<

"fdisk" reports:
/dev/hbd1   1  517 4152771  b Win95 FAT32
/dev/hdb2 518  683  530145 82 Linux swap
/dev/hdb3 584 1027 3566430 83 Linux

"df -h" reports:
/dev/hdb3   3,4G 2,2G 1,1G 69% /
none        125M    0 125M  0% /dev/shm
/dev/hdb1   4,0G 2,1G 2,0G 52% /mnt/windows

"mounts" reports:
/dev/hdb3 on / type ext3 (rw)
none on /proc type proc (rw)
none on /dev/pts type devpts (rw,quid=5,mode=620)
usbdevfs on /proc/bus/usb type usbdevfs (rw)
none on /dev/shm type tmpfs (rw)
/dev/hdb1 on /mnt/windows type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,umask=000)

What's wrong? How can I fix that?

Thanks,
Nino
