mounting drives in Linux

[Santi]

I have two 20 GB disks.
One of them, the primary disk (hda), has a 6 GB partition for Win98SE and a 14 GB partition for Win98SE where I keep my music.
The other disk (hdb) has a 6 GB partition for Linux and a 14 GB partition for Win98SE.

I can mount my first partition on the first disk (the 6 GB one), but the others two (the 14 GB partitions)I cant. The mount command replies on screen: "Invalid filesystem or too many mounted drives". I used the command
'mount -t msdos'

I also have two CD-ROM drives.

What am i doing wrong? Can somebody help me?

try
mount -t vfat /dev/hdX# /mount/point/
where X will be either 'a' or 'b' and # will be the partition number. of course /mount/point/ will besome directory name.

I am assuming you are supplying a device file? I have been doing sun lately, but my Redhat days had me specifying /dev/sda# or /dev/hda# for ide slices.

Are you doing that? Does fdisk pick the Windoze slices up? Do a fdisk and press m for help, you can view the partition table.

Hope this helps somewhat.
