Mount fat32 partition

[Aly Dharshi]

Hi John,
	
	What we had done was split the disk at WinXP install time into a couple 
of partitions, a 15GB NTFS, a 20GB not formatted but partitioned space, 
and left the rest of the disk for Linux.

	Once Windows XP SP2 was up and running then we formatted via Win XP the 
20Gb partition as FAT and copied stuff over to it. I doubt very much 
that there isn't any FAT filesystem there. Plus HWBrowser did identify 
the correct NTFS partition as NTFS but the 20GB FAT partition as an 
unknown partition.

	Cheers,

	Aly.
