Unable to mount FAT Filesystem


So a bit backround....I've been a linux user for a while with major breaks, but still remember something...
My Windows XP refused to start upon installation of some particular software, but since I have a dual boot of Debian AMD64(Laptop) system I did not worried much abot this one...
I thought I can access windows partitions from Linux, copy importand data from Main Widows Drive & then restore Factory settings with CDs provided with my laptop...

However, when I'm truying to access both windows partitions, it reports the following error:
mount /dev/hda2/ /mnt/win_c -t vfat
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda2
missing codepage or other error
In some cases usefull information is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so

My partition table:

Device Boot Id System
/dev/hda1 12 Compaq diagnostics
/dev/hda2 * b W95 FAT32
/dev/hda3 f W95 Ext'd (LBA)
/dev/hda5 b W95 FAT32
/dev/hda6 82 Swap
/dev/hda7 83 Linux
/dev/hda8 83 Linux

Can anyone help me on this issue ?

Thanks,
Sader

Dear Sader

I read that, you have used "mount /dev/hda2/ /mnt/win_c -t vfat" in your mout syntax. You could try this one:
"mount -t vfat /dev/hda2 /mnt/win_c/" (without backslash "/" at the end of the "hda2") + of course with a root account permissions I hope that will be solve your problem.

Regards
