I am using the Redhat 4.2 and need to be able to read a drive which is
formatted with the fat32 file system.

How do I get it to recognise this file system??

On the machine running Slackware i can read the drive fine, but When I try
to mount it under RedHat it spacks
and tells me that it is an invalid file system.

This is driving me nuts....... So any help would be appreciated.

Under Slackware the drive mounts easily with

mount -t vfat /dev/hd1 /dos

but it doesn't work with REdhat. Am I doing something wrong or is it
different options with Redhat ??


Thanks in Advance
