From my reading of the links submitted by Dan Larsson, W2k does support reading and writing of fat32x partitions, that would explain the 44GB fat32 partition that I access from SCSI based NTFS W2K installation on my workstation, and when booted into Freebsd 4.3 on SCSI HD I can mount the 44GB partition also. # mount_msdos /dev/ad0s1 /fat32/s1 mounts the 7GB 1st partition on the 1st IDE HD read/write # mount_msdos -o rdonly /dev/ad0s2 /fat32/s2 mounts the 44GB 2nd partition on the 1st IDE HD read-only Robin, recheck your drive jumpers (master/slave) and bios IDE setups, and confirm that the drive is seen during the bios boot-up post screen if one is available. I would set the second IDE disk as master or "only-drive" on the second IDE channel with no slave device (check drive jumpering manual specs) to trouble-shoot this problem. Also have you created your mount point? (ls -la /mnt/fat32) And as Chris Faulhaber asked > What does 'fdisk ad1' show? Regards, Stephen Hilton Dan Larsson wrote: > > On Thu, 6 Sep 2001, Robin P.
