acessing DOS FAT32 on same physical drive

I have a laptop with 6.2 installed along with Windows 2000. I wanted to
share some data between the two systems. I have the following
partitions/logical drives:
partition with Windows boot (NTFS)
partition that is an extended and include:
logical drive (NTFS) for windows data
logical drive (FAT32) which I intended to share with QNX
partition with Linux

I attempted to do a mount -t dos with all the hd0 type entries and they all
indicated they could not mount due to a corrupted filesystem. Naturally the
FAT32 filesystem is fine…
Are there additional steps beyond just doing a mount?

I also burned a CD with the data from Windows and tried:
mount -t dos /dev/cd0 /mnt
and it also failed with corrupted filesystem… which of course it is not
to windows…
not sure if all this is related…

I don’t think extended partition are supported, not sure

The file system on a CD is not dos (FAT32) but is something
different (joliet). Try mount -t cd /dev/cd0 /mnt

not sure if all this is related…

Hi Jay.
Are you sure that the fat partition was not mounted at startup? It would be
under /fs/hd0-dos???.

The mount command that should mount that partition should look like:
mount -tdos /dev/hd0t11 /mntpnt
t11 is DOS 32-bit FAT
