n00b question

[Soular]

if i have two partitions (not counting the linux swap), one for linux and one for data, do i have to mount the data drive every time i wanna access it, or can i make it so it accesses the drive automatically upon boot?, or is there an option to make it a linux file system?

You need to add a line to the /etc/fstab file. Linux will read this and mount the partition at boot time.

something like:
/dev/hda4 /mnt/windows vfat defaults 0 0

should be close. edit the fields to suit your setup.
