I'm totally new to Linux.  So bear with me.

1.  I don't have a directory /etc/fstab on my system.  So I don't know 
how to make a comparable entry.

2.  If I go to the Mandrake Control Center, Select the Mount Points 
tab, and then select one of the Windows FAT drives:

  a) I can Unmount the drive.  (And all of them are FAT32 drives)
  b) If I go to Expert Mode, and select Type to change it to something 
else, the very first prompt I get is a warning that all my data will 
be lost.    I chicken out right there.

So how can I change the FAT32 drives to VFAT without loosing the data?
