Thanks for being the focus point I figured out this
problem.. the /etc/fstab had hda1 and hdb1 listed as

You will need to mount it with '-t vfat' which let's you read the windows
95 long file names. This is assuming you have the vfat module for the

mount -t vfat

Mount the filesystem as type "vfat" instead of "msdos". It is more
