I have ben strugeling this now for 30minutes.

I have seartched this forum, but I stand still.

It worked perfect in xandros and lots off other distros I used, but on fedora and red hat I newer made it work.

I have two fat32 partisjons on my slave disk.

When I go to dev/hdb1 and hdb2 just get the mesage "location is not a folder" I tryed diferent comands i found in previous posts, but I just ended up with mesages that the location don't exsist.

And my gf wonder why I drink beer :mad:

I'm concidering going out to buy one off those boxes you put hardisks inside and simply conect it by usb and then mounting it as a network drive, but I would be happy to save the money.

Anny advice that will work?

Hello:
Assuming you are using FC6 ?
if so, open a terminal and log in as root using
su - <----- the dash is important
yourpassword
then type
fdisk -l
the output will identify your FAT partitions
then, while in the same terminal
type
mkdir /mnt/fat1
then type
gedit /etc/fstab
and add the following line(s)

/dev/hdb1 /mnt/fat1 vfat users,defaults,umask=000 0 0

save, exit and reboot and your /dev/hdb1 will be mounted at reboot under /mnt/fat1
