This is a little difficult unless you follow the syntax exactly. But, it is a
good idea especially if you download via windows now. Also if you switch
desktops to the AfterStep version, it has a mount tool you can get to via the
menu. This will recognize the fat32 partition and you can mount and unmount at
your leisure. BE CAREFUL IF YOUR WINDOWS PARTITION IS CLOSE TO FULL. If you
reach 100% on that partition, the windows warning and maintenance tools are not
there using Linux.
