are you sure your windows partition is on device /dev/hda2 ? if you
installed windows before linux it should reside on partition /dev/hda1
(you should check that using fdisk). By the way, the windows filesystems
are better mounted with -t vfat option (this gives you access to windows
long filenames).
[I think the message you get is more like
wrong filesystem or number of mount points excedeed.]

Objet: Mounting harddisks
I am having problems mounting my win95 harddisks under Linux. They are
FAT16 partitions (not FAT32). However my parttions are more than 512MB
(1024MB) but soem of my smaller partitions also have problems. Is there
a
limitation to mounting win95 parttions that I should know about.
I tried this
mkdir /dos
mount -t msdos /dev/hda2 /dos
but the system gave a an error message saying that i ran out of
partitions
or something like dat (i will check the exact wording when i reach my
linux
box at home if that is neccessary).
Could someone throw something back my way on this?!? Thanks
