login as root,

goto a terminal window or to text mode,

mkdir /mnt/(anynameyouwant)

mount -t vfat /dev/hdxn /mnt/(anynameyouwant)

the "x" in /dev/hdx  refers to the hard drive  i.e. /dev/hda would be
your primary master hdd, /dev/hdb is for the primary slave drive. The
"n" refers to the partition on that disk.

example:   mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/win95
or               mount -t vfat /dev/hdb1 /mnt/win95

www.linuxnewbie.com has alot of good info

don't forget to read the man pages

try "man mount" from the command prompt

Hope this helps,
