Does the Windows volume have a name?  (Same sort of thing as labels on
EXT3.)  I seem to recall that's required for auto-mounting.

If you only ever use it with Linux, you might want to reformat as a
Linux file system.  You lose some things with a FAT one.

Using FC 4, 5, 6 & 7, plus CentOS 5.  Today, it's FC7.
