about mounting
 
I've monted my window drives via the command:
/dev/sda6 /media/mount point ntfs-3g

What does this "3g" stands for?

How can I mount if my file is FAT?

I donot know how u have mounted your drive, the above command does not seem to be correct.

But for FAT u can mount the drive as

#mount -t vfat /dev/sda6 /mnt

sorry dude, but I've mounted all window drive via the same command. And I don't seem that this command is incorrect.

In a nutshell 3g stands for third generation. I suspect the creators wanted their driver to stand out from the original.

Funny, I get "/dev/sda6: Permission denied" when I try to run "/dev/sda6 /media/mount point ntfs-3g"

I can't say what actually is the stuff, but I've mounted my drives with the same command.
I've mounted my friends machine drives via the same command.
