Sorry Randall, I forgot to change the address to reply to list.

the mount and df don't show the FAT32 partition

Thanks for the info. I agree with Fajar Priyanto's post; it really is a
useful tip. The mount and df commands I already knew about but not the
file -s trick
> # file -s /dev/hd*
I tried that and got
linux-gmsj:~ # file -s /dev/hda*
/dev/hda: x86 boot sector; partition 1: ID=0x7, active, starthead 1,
startsector 63, 16386237 sectors; partition 2: ID=0x83, starthead 0,
startsector 16386300, 48195 sectors; partition 3: ID=0xf, starthead 0,

/dev/hda1: x86 boot sector, code offset 0x52, OEM-ID "NTFS ",

linux-gmsj:~ #
/dev/hda7 is the one I am trying to mount. Attempting to mount gives
linux-gmsj:~ # mount -t vfat /dev/hda7 /windows/data
mount: /dev/hda7 already mounted or /windows/data busy
linux-gmsj:~ #
I don't know what else to try.
