    Eric:
    According to Babelfish "poste de travail" translates to "working 
station" so I am guessing that these directories are not mounting.

    For the ntfs directory, you will need to install the modules for 
ntfs (http://linux-ntfs.sourceforge.net/).  There is an excellent 
install info section (including multi-language FAQ)

    As for the fstab, try the following which is my fstab entry for a 
vfat partition

/dev/hdc5               /media/media            vfat    
noauto,users,exec 0 0

the filesystem should be set, rather than using auto as it will not be 
changing, and will thus be a little faster mounting.

Bon chance
Scott
