Hi, Duncan,
Thanks for you suggestions. I tried dd the partition into a image file,
then mount it with "mount -o loop -t vfat|msdos|umsdos <file.image>
/mnt"
But the command failed.
Any other ideas? Thanks.

this is bad juju. you don't want to ruin your fedora/linux install
because your fat is muffed. i'd highly recommend against following
this advice.
have you tried the dd idea yet?
