Mounting DOS drive

Fat32 needs to be installed as a kernel module, but I'm not 100% sure.
Perhaps you have to specify the File system in the mount command.

Kind Regards

        Subject:        Mounting DOS drive


I've just installed Fedora 3 on a PC with 2 hard disks.  I'm dual 
booting Windows XP and Fedora using grubb.  When I look under the System 
Tools>Hardware Browser, both disks appear.  the dos disk shows fat32. 
However, when I try to mount the disk using the "User Mount Tool" under 
System Tools>Disk Management, I get the following error message: "There 
are no filesystems which you are allowed to mount or unmount.  Contact 
your administrator."  (Unfortunately, I am the administrator.)

I used to mount dos drives in Red Hat 9 with no problem.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Tom Capehart
