On my XP/Mandrake 9.2 dual boot machine I have created a FAT32 partition using the XP disk management tools. I did this so that I can write to the FAT32 partition from Linux and XP.
How do I add the FAT32 partition to the Linux /mnt directory?
I presume I should edit my fstab file, but how do I find the name of the partition (it's an extended partition)
I presume/guess the entry should be something like:
/dev/hda? /mnt/win_f vfat iocharset=iso8859-15,ro,umask=0 0 0
and what should I replace ro with so that I can write to the disk?
<begin current fstab>
