Re: Re: Re: [LUG] how to add a disk with fat 32 partition

["Rajesh Mittal" <rajesh1803@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thnaks , I could find out mine , it is secondary master hdc. I 
have tried mounting by entering following line in /etc/fstab

/dev/hdc   /mnt/hdd    vfat    defaults   0 2

or mounting manually at the prompt by

# mount -t vfat /dev/hdc /mnt/hdd

it does not fs rather it gives following errot message

mount : wrong fs type, bad option,bad superblock on /dev/hdc, ot 
too many mounted  files ystem. though I had created a dir /hdd 
under /mnt.

I do not undersand why it is not being mounted. where i am making 
mistake. Any suggestion??
