Hi!
Here is my fstab... It's working fine. Look on win_c and win_d, they are 
partitions of master IDE HD running WinMe.

LABEL=/         /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
none            /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
none            /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
none            /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
none            /sys                    sysfs   defaults        0 0
/dev/hda1       /win_c                  vfat    defaults        0 0
/dev/hda5       /win_d                  vfat    defaults        0 0
/dev/hdb2       swap                    swap    defaults        0 0
/dev/cdrom      /mnt/cdrom              auto auto,user,exec,ro  0 0
/dev/cdrom1     /mnt/cdrom1             auto auto,user,exec,rw  0 0
/dev/fd0        /mnt/floppy             auto auto,user,sync,rw  0 0
