Unhappy Mounting Fat32 on FC3


Could someone help me format my fstab file so that I can access the files on my secondary drive?

I'm currently running 3 hard drives on my Athlon-based system. My main drive hda1 (NTFS) is host to Windows XP until I can get my media transferred to My secondary drive hdh1 (FAT32)

here's a copy of my fstab


LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hdb3 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hdf /media/cdrom auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrecorder auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0


I've also made attempts to mount my NTFS drive.. but alas I've had no success
I installed an NTFS rpm file but it doesn't seem to have made a difference.

Make a directory in your /mnt directory called whatever you want.
add this line to end of your fstab.

/dev/hdh1 /mnt/directoryyoucreated vfat defaults 1 2

Hit enter a few times and save reboot and you should be good to go. good luck.
