I just installed Redhat 7.1 and im wondering how to make it see my other harddrives which are in the fat 32 format.

I know they hdb5 and hdd1, how would I go about doing this?

if you want them to automatically load and mount at startup.. edit and add them to your /etc/fstab file..

here's what you need to do to /etc/fstab

/dev/hd* /mnt/MOUNTPLACE vfat auto 0 0

put the right place on the /dev/hd
make a directory in /mnt like /mnt/windows where the windows drive will be mounted

hope that helps
