I have one ext2 partition, two fat32 partitions and one fat16 partition.

I can mount the ext2 and fat16 partitions, but am unable to mount the
vfat (fat32) partitions.

When I try to mount them, the hard disk makes a humming sound, and I get
these errors:

hda: timeout waiting for DMA
hda: irq timeout: status=0xd0 { Busy }
hda: DMA disabled
ide0: reset: success
hda: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }
hda: read_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=5221126, sector=1
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:01 (hda), sector 1
FAT bread failed
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1,
       or too many mounted file systems



This happens everytime.

I tried disabling dma and then mounting, and I get these errors:

hda: read_intr: status=0x59 { DriveReady SeekComplete DataRequest Error }
hda: read_intr: error=0x40 { UncorrectableError }, LBAsect=5221126, sector=1
end_request: I/O error, dev 03:01 (hda), sector 1
FAT bread failed
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1,
       or too many mounted file systems


I am unable to boot into the fat32 partitions either.

I have not used Windows for several months now, so don't think that this
is a windows related problem, and I was able to mount the partitions
last night, but not since this afternoon.

Shutdown was uneventful the last time I used the fat32 partitions.  I
have all my documentation stored on those partitions and refer to them
frequently.

Any ideas as to what has happened and how I may be able to fix it?

Philip
