It's not the ltsp-typical setup, but proceed like this:
Your primary slave harddisk is /dev/hdb in any standard setup.

#  fdisk -l /dev/hdb

will tell you which partitions exist on that drive.
You will recognize any fat32 partitions, and remember their name (e.g.
/dev/hdb1). Then do

#  mkdir /windows

for the mount point where to hang the drive in and

#  mount /dev/hdb /windows -t vfat -o fat=32

the drive. If this fails, perhaps your suse 7.2 kernel has no support
for fat32? Possibly it only has read-only support as I remember older
SuSEs had this feature to protect the fat32 from buggy kernel drivers
(the fat32 driver went through some development).

If it was successful,

#  ls -al /windows

should give you a nice dir listing.

If everything works fine, you can make your system mount that device
on every boot. For this, edit /etc/fstab and enter a line like

/dev/hdb1  /windows vfat fat=32 0 0

and enjoy.


Perhaps you should have asked this on a more general-topic list than
on ltsp-discuss, but no matter.

HTH,
