Dear Sir, here is the information of Fdisk ..
Disk /dev/hda: 40.0 GB, 40020664320 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 4865 cylinders Units = cylinders of 16065 * 512 = 8225280 bytes
Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 1 1275 10241406 c Win95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/hda2 * 1276 1339 514080 83 Linux /dev/hda3 1340 2562 9823747+ 83 Linux /dev/hda4 2568 4865 18458685 5 Extended /dev/hda5 2568 2633 530113+ 82 Linux swap /dev/hda6 3017 4865 14852061 c Win95 FAT32 (LBA) /dev/hda7 2634 3015 3068383+ 83 Linux
Partition table entries are not in disk order
While I am able to mount the dev/hda1, I am not able to mount the /dev/hda6 .
The error reported is
[EMAIL PROTECTED] root]# mount -t msdos /dev/hda6 /c
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda6,
or too many mounted file systems
What could be wrong..
Regards and thanks for your time.

Niraj,
You can't mount a extended partition instead you can mount a logical partition in that extended right ?
Check few things:- fdisk -l e.g Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/hda1 * 1 10 80293+ 83 Linux /dev/hda2 11 647 5116702+ 83 Linux /dev/hda3 648 3463 22619520 83 Linux /dev/hda4 3464 4865 11261565 f Win95 Ext'd (LBA) /dev/hda5 3464 4100 5116671 83 Linux /dev/hda6 4101 4737 5116671 83 Linux /dev/hda7 4738 4864 1020096 82 Linux swap
here clearly i do have extended partition as hda4 (see the Start & End blocks) created from fdisk of windows.In that i do have logical partions as hda5, hda6 & hda7 of linux.
In your particular case you need to do mkdir /c mount -t msdos /dev/hdaX /c

Subject: [LIH]Mounting extended partition.
I have a dual boot machiene with three partitions. Two Vfat and one Linux.
How do I Mount and extended vfat partiotion in Linux. on giving command mount /dev/hda4 -t vfat /c
I get the following output. mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda4, or too many mounted file systems (aren't you trying to mount an extended partition, instead of some logical partition inside?)
What is the mistake I am making. ?
Thanks and regards
