I thought I saw somewhere when I was installing Red Hat 9 (in the manual or installation) that Red Hat can see FAT32 partitions? How can I see the hard drive that is FAT32 formatted?

RedHat ought to have automatically detected any FAT32 partitions you have, and set them up so that you can mount then to /mnt

If you're using KDE/GNOME, try to find any desktop icons representing that partition.

Or have a look in /mnt for any directories corresponding to your Windows, and then issue the command "mount /mnt/windows" (where windows is the directory name). Then you can use the FAT32 partition from that mount point.

I'd recommend you go to http://www.newtolinux.org.uk/ to familiarise yourself with more basics of GNU/Linux, and to look at the partitions and windows tutorials in particular.

$cat /etc/fstab
will give u a listing of ur mount points. if its not there use fdisk to find out the partitions that u have on ur hard disk (s) make a new mount point by editing the /etc/fstab and creating the appropriate directory then mount the partitions u saw on fdisk, run a ls on them until u see a file structure that resembles MS OS
