To mount an ntfs partition using the ntfs-linux driver, try using the -rw switch instead of the -r switch. I peronally consider this dangerous.

To mount a fat32 partition:
1. create a directory to mount it on.

mkdir /mnt/fat32

2. mount it

mount -t vfat /dev/hdx /mnt/fat32

where hdx is your fat32 partition.

Although I am a newbie but I do this to mount my FAT32 drives :

su
(enter root password)
cd /mount/windows
mkdir d
mount /dev/hdax d
exit

hdax is the drive which you want to mount (x is a number)
.......
If you want to automount the drive when you log on add the mount commenad to the end of your .bash_profile file.

hi trickster,

mount -t vfat /dev/hdx /mnt/fat32 is working perfectly fine for me. thanks!! for that

can you also help me in one more thing.

for automounting the drive when i log on, how do i add the mount command to the end of your .bash_profile file can you provide me some sample script file??

thanks

umm, add it to your fstab instead please

when possible we like to see the use of proper methods, over a lil hackish ones that get the job done

As he said, add it to the fstab. We have a tutorial about it here.
