access fat32 partition in rh7.2

[Anish Mathew]

Do the following steps..
1.Create mount point(directories) in /mnt/
 ie mkdir /mnt/{C,D,E}
 
2.Edit /etc/fstab and add the following lines at the end.
/dev/hda1  /mnt/C vfat defaults 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/D vfat defaults 0 0
/dev/hda6 /mnt/E vfat defaults 0 0
 
if u want to add specific options look at "mount" man page and change
"defaults" to options u need.
this would work only if u have the necessary modules compiled in
3. save and exit the file
4 now mount the partitions.
mount /mnt/C
mount /mnt/D
mount /mnt/E
 
i guess this list does not entertain windows related questions..
so think next time when u post .
