Hey,
Ok right now i have a hard drive (Fat32) that is full of mp3's(1300) and i want to transfer it onto linux so i can acess and play all my mp3's from linux jsut like it was a linux harddrive ..............how would i do that?

If the hard drive is in the same machine as you've got Linux installed, just setup Linux to read the FAT32 partition where the data is stored. There are plenty of tutorials/docs on this around the web (check linuxdoc.org, post if you need more help).

Pretty broad question, but if you have it built into your kernel or as a module you SHOULD be able to access dos partitions as linux partititons. Otherwise just copy them suckers.

You'll have to mount the hard disk with the MP3's on (assuming kernel supports FAT32). To do this either use the MOUNT command (in console or the X version of console) or modify your /etc/fstab to auto mount it whenever you boot. There's plenty of NHFs on mounting drives, if you cant find any for hard disks, then look at mounting CDs, the principal is that same, only the filesystem changes.
