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'.
On WinXP, go to:
Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management
Then click on "Disk Management"
Look at the drive and Partition in question.
What is the type? If it is "Dynamic" and not "Basic" ... you have to use the CentOS Plus kernel to mount it.
Also, you can see the "File System" in this area ... is it FAT32 for that partition?
