Mounting FAT32: mount -vfat /dev/hdaX /mnt/hdaX


I'm a Linux noob too so don't trust me too much on this.

to mount a fat32 drive, it isn't nessisary to say it's vfat

the easiest thing to do is to make a /c directory, or at least that is what i always to:
mkdir /c
then, to mount your 'windows c' drive, lets say it is hda1, in linux, type:
mount /dev/hda1 /c

It's in the god damn forum DESCRIPTION! Calum, Tux, Panos, the others and I didn't spend hours on that darn thing for nothing!

BouncingAyatollah:
If you want to always have your FAT32 partition available put an entry in your /etc/fstab file (you need to be root to edit this, so either log in as root or "su -" in a console first).

You make a folder somewhere (usually under /mnt) which is where the filesystem will be mounted, and then can specify other options to mount to tell it who can access it, whether it is auto-mounted and so on.

e.g. to allow all users to mount your first HD partition on mountpoint /mnt/c you would have

/dev/hda1   /mnt/c   vfat   defaults,umask=000    0 0

(all on 1 line if it isn't)

in your fstab. If you like you can add an icon for the partition to your desktop, under KDE a small green triangle indicates whether the partition is mounted or not, you can right-click it to do so, after which point it will be available to other programs when you navigate to /mnt/c.

Although it's for Gentoo there is quite a good decription of it here (from Step 2 on, your kernel is already compiled for RedHat):
