One thing that I made a mistake on when I first tried to create this
mounting, I forgot to create the directory for the mounting. When I
installed Linux, I used the disk druid to create the mount for my ms-dos
partition. Well, when it booted, it did not mount correctly, gave an error.
Later I found out it is because I did not have the directory that I wanted
to mount to create, once created it worked. Sounds simple, but it is able
to be missed for someone new like me... :-)
Please excuse my lack of terminology or bad grammar... (I did use spell
check, lol)

well as root do
mount -t msdos /mnt/bla (where bla is the directory u want to mount
the
FAT drive too) /dev/hdx (where hdx is the drive the FAT is on ie:
hda1,
hdb2, etc)
