>From my reading of the links submitted by Dan Larsson, W2k does support
reading and writing of fat32x partitions, that would explain the 44GB fat32
partition that I access from SCSI based NTFS W2K installation on my
workstation, and when booted into Freebsd 4.3 on SCSI HD I can mount the
44GB partition also.
# mount_msdos /dev/ad0s1 /fat32/s1
mounts the 7GB 1st partition on the 1st IDE HD read/write
# mount_msdos -o rdonly /dev/ad0s2 /fat32/s2
mounts the 44GB 2nd partition on the 1st IDE HD read-only
Robin, recheck your drive jumpers (master/slave) and bios IDE setups, and
confirm that the drive is seen during the bios boot-up post screen if one is
available. I would set the second IDE disk as master or "only-drive" on the
second IDE channel with no slave device (check drive jumpering manual specs)
to trouble-shoot this problem.
Also have you created your mount point? (ls -la /mnt/fat32)
And as Chris Faulhaber asked
