I had windows ME with two hard drives, one was about 20 gigs and the second is 50+ gigs. In windows ME i transfered all my media files and stuff to the 50 gig drive, hdb, and reformatted hda and installed red hat. my kernel is vmlinuz2.4.2-2.

What i am trying to do is mount the 50 gig drive in linux.
I do these commands
modprobe fat
modprobe vfat
mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/hdb -t vfat
and get this error:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on hdb1, or to many mounted file systems.

I saw someone say they had this error trying to do this with a ntfs partition and they fixed it by getting some rpm, is there somthing like that i need to do with vfat?

here is my fdisk -l output:

Disk /dev/hda: 255 heads, 63 sectors, 2482 cylinders

**note im trying to mount hdb1 not hda7


THANKS IN ADVANCE TO ANY HELP

syntax is:
mount -t vfstype device dir
