Quick bit of help regarding mounting a networked drive in linux [SOLVED]

So, problem. I have it set in /etc/fstab to mount two different shared drives on my windows box. One of them works, and will mount the shared folder properly. The other one, though, doesn't. The only slight difference I can think of between the two is that one is on my F:\ drive and the one that works is on my C:\ drive. Would this make a difference, and if so, how would one correct this?

And if not, what be up?

    The drive letters should not matter. I'm assuming you're using samba to mount/access them? Can you manually mount the F: drive? In any case, I'd start with your smb.conf... I can't for the life of me remember what's in there regarding mounting remote drives as it's been years since I played with samba.

    I was using a Gentoo distribution via /etc/fstab. Turns out all I had to do was mkdir /mnt/willz. Oops.
