Mounting Fat 32 (Windows) directory in FC2

I have been unable to automatically mount the Windows
directory in FC2. When FC2 is loading I get this
failure message:
'mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on
/dev/hda1, or too many mounted file systems.'
If, as root, I mount the drive as:
'mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows'
it will mount.
All of this is in the gnome desktop. When I switch to
the KDE desk top all of my drives generate this
statement:
'There appears to be a configuration error. You have
associated Konqueror with inode/directory, but it
can't handle this file type.
The mtab file shows this:
/dev/hdb6 / ext3 rw 0 0
none /proc proc rw 0 0
none /dev/pts devpts rw,gid=5,mode=620 0 0
usbdevfs /proc/bus/usb usbdevfs rw 0 0
/dev/hdb1 /boot ext3 rw 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs rw 0 0
sunrpc /var/lib/nfs/rpc_pipefs rpc_pipefs rw 0 0
none /proc/sys/fs/binfmt_misc binfmt_misc rw 0 0
/dev/hdb5 /mnt/media vfat rw 0 0
and the fstab shows this:
LABEL=/ / ext3
defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3
defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts
gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /proc proc
defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs
defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb3 swap swap
defaults 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto
noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0
/dev/sdal /usbstick vfat user,noauto,owner.umask=0
0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat
auto,owner,exec.con-binery,rw,umask000 0 0
/dev/hdb5 /mnt/media vfat
auto,owner,exec.con-binery,rw,umask000 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
And lastly I had no problems in FC1 with the above
information so I am assuming basic changes were made.
I'm am just an end user so my knowledge is limited.
Thank you,
