I don't know what your problem is - but here are the entries in my fstab for three
Windows/DOS partitions:
/dev/hda1 /dos_c vfat defaults,conv=auto,umask=0 0 0
/dev/sda1 /dos_d msdos defaults,rw,uid=65534,gid=65534,umask=0 0
0
/dev/hda8 /dos_e vfat defaults,umask=0 0 0
All of them are accessible to me.
Have you tried accessing them as other than root? There's that funny root-squashing
business in NFS mounts that might be relevant here.
