I've got a few programs on there that didn't come on the stock device, and I left out the contents of changable directories such as /proc and /mnt.
I'm kind of baffled by the /mnt directory, it seems to be a loopback to the complete filesystem. Does anyone know what is really going on there?
Oh, and...
mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/win -t ntfs
(from memory. If I botched the syntax I'm sure 885744 people willjump down my throat)

Sorry. People here run the gambit from having the 770 be their first Linux experience to having years of *nix sysadmin experience. I didn't mean to sound like a snot if I did. 
I also noticed that and was puzzled by it. They seem to be identical. I don't want to try unmounting it though, even as root I don't know if it'd let you. The fstab doesn't show much either.

That's ok, I was kind of vague.
Oh, and the correct syntax is "mount -t ntfs /dev/hdb1 /mnt/win"
Now you only have to dislodge 885743 people from your throat.
