does fdisk agree that it's a Fat volume? What type?

and I sort of agree with someone else's previous suggestion to see if you can mount it from command line first before trying to mount via fstab.

I tried exactly as they said, and got the same error anyway: [root@localhost ~]# mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda1, or too many mounted file systems

Are you *sure* that the FS on that partition is FAT32? If this is your WinXP C: drive, I strongly suspect that it's NTFS. For that you'll need the centosplus kernel, and you'd need to 'mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows'.
