In a console:
1) type "fdisk -l" without the quotes (this will "list" your partitions)
2) identify your fat32 partition from the output of the previous command (it
will probably be hda1, but it could be something else) I'll assume it's
"hda1" but just replaces my references to "hda1" to the actual name
3) type "cd /mnt" without the quotes
4) type "md DOS_hda1"
5) type "mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/DOS_hda1"
Now, just navigate the "/mnt/DOS_hda1" directory to see the contents of your
fat32 drive. If this works, you can add an entry to your /etc/fstab file to
make your life easier the next time you want to mount your fat32 partition.
