Mount fat32 partition

[Nicolas Fortin]

Hi folks,

I want to share a fat32 partition between Fedora and WinXP.  I created the 
mounted directory (/mnt/win) and tried the following command :

mount -t vfat /dev/hda8 /mnt/win

Unfortunately, I got this message :

mount : wrong fs type, bad option bad superblock on /dev/hda8, or too may 
mounted file systems.

I looked my partition details with "fdisk -l /dev/hda" but fdisk was not 
installed. So I tried fdisk from a bootable cd and according it, /dev/hda8 
is really a fat partition. I also attempted to add the following line in my 
/etc/fstab file :

/dev/hda8   /mnt/win   vfat   noauto,user   0 0

but I am still stuck with the same message when Fedora is lauched.

Now, I simply don't know what to do. I will be glad if anyone could help me.

Nicolas
