Well , that's to be expected , how did you expected mount (
remember mount speaks english ) to do that for you . You did
got that because your mount command was incomplete .


How can I get   the accents correctly?

If it is a FAT Partition then you can get it done correctly if it is an
NTFS partition then you can't get it .

For example i used

mount  -o iocharset=iso8859-7,codepage=737 /dev/hda1 /mnt/DosDisk


The above command gives you access to a partition that contains Greek .
No for your case just put in the correct value for iocharset and codepage.

Btw  what language was that ? Spannish ??
