I don't know what flavor of linux you are using but I got my info at
www.redhat.com . I don't remember exactly where at the site but it was at
the rdhat 6.1: The Official Red Hat Linux Getting Started Guide, chapter 7.
Q & A: Quick Answers to Common Questions. There one titled " Accessing a
Windows Partion". It will tell you how to do it and just print it for
reference. It is about two pages long so that is why I am pointing you in
that direction instead of writing it here. It does work because I can mount
my windows 95 fat32 partition now Redhat 6.1 and can move files from fat32
to linux.

First check so that your kernel supports fat32.
In /mnt create a dir called fat or something. Then you just tell the kernel on what partition and
wich harddrive the fat32 partition resides on. For exsample my fat32 partition is the first partition
on my first harddrive wich is the same as /dev/hda1. This is the syntax for mounting my fat32
drive.
"mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/fat". All you have to do now is to use "mount /mnt/fat" and 
"umount /mnt/fat" to mount and dissmount. 

I hope things are a littlebit clearer for you now.

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,
