I talked my friend, who is a big Windows fan, to trying linux. He has 2 drives, and he has linux on hdc1 and win98 on hda1. When we set the box up, I mounted hda1 so he could get to his windows files from linux. Now when ever he tries to mount hda1 with type vfat he gets a message: $ mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/cdrive mount: fs type vfat not supported by kernel He said is was working and then all of a sudden this started to happen. No rebuild has been done. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this and how to fix it? Thanks John Gorman
