    Two things.  First, try changing the type to vfat; this may cause it to
recognize the filesystem correctly.  Second, I'd be very surprised if this
partition were actually /dev/hda3--generally, the third partition would be a
logical drive within an extended partition, and Linux starts numbering those
at hda5.  I'd suspect this partition is actually /dev/hda6.  I think you can
cat /proc/partitions for more info (or run dmesg > output.txt and check the
results of the partition check).  Good luck!
