This is the FSTAB entry I use for my external USB 2.0 Drive.
It is formated as fat32 and I can both use, see from, mofify files on it from XP or Linux.
It should be the same for an internal IDE drive:
Code:
/dev/sda1 /mnt/removable vfat pamconsole,exec,noauto,codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1,managed 0 0
Hope this helps!
