[newbie] Unable to mount FAT32 partition in Mandrake

[Frederick Greenhalgh]

Hey, Mandrake noob here, a week in and working on the third of my main 
three objectives that will make  Windoze completely unecessary! (USB 
soundcard - check, wireless pci -check, favorite game -not so much) 
Anyways, here's my objective/problem:

I'm trying to get Neverwinter Nights running on my machine in Linux, 
which requires read/write priveleges on the drive in question.  I do not 
have enough room on my Linux partition, so I am trying to coax Linux 
into running it off my Windows partition.  The partition was NTFS, but 
after reading some about Linux's difficulties with NTFS, I decided to 
change my filesystem to FAT32.  I did this in Windows with Partition 
Magic 8.

Now, however, Linux fails to mount the partition at all!  I played 
around a little in Disk Drake, but was too scared of accidentally wiping 
my filesystem data to go too far.  I think I've read enough to get 
read/write access working once Linux sees the partition again, but how 
do I do that?

Thanks for any help you can give,
