I am trying to mount a FAT32 partition in CentOS. I'm following the instructions on this page: http://www.linuxforum.com/linux_tutorials/14/1.php
This is the line I put into /etc/fstab /dev/hda /mnt/windows vfat users,owner,rw,umask=000 0 0
And this is the error I get: [root@localhost mnt]# mount -a mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda, or too many mounted file systems
What is the cause of this error?
For reference, this is the output of fsisk: [root@localhost mnt]# fdisk -l

Dave,
Try:
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat rw,noauto,user,uid=512,gid=1002 1 2
Adjust uid and gid for the user you want to have full access (see /etc/passwd entry), or omit for read-all write-root. [Be sure /mnt/windows exists.]

OT, but looks like /dev/hdb2 has no extended partitions. It's a pretty small percentage of the disk, so may be a don't-care. Could make it swap as you don't seem to have any. If you want:
# fdisk /dev/hdb
Command (m for help): t Partition number (1-4): 2 Hex code (type L to list codes): 82 Changed system type of partition 1 to 82 (Linux swap)
Command (m for help): w
# mkswap /dev/hdb2
Put the following in /etc/fstab:
/dev/hdb2 swap swap defaults 0 0
# free # swapon -a # free
