RH mounting problems

Okay i know this is pretty basic, but i'm having some problems. What i'm trying to do is mount a fat32 hdd in rh linux. This is what i type in terminal:

Quote:

---

mount -a

---

which is suppose to mount all the drives in the file fstab. But the message it displays after that is :

Quote:

---

mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda2, or too many mounted file systems. (aren't you trying to mount an extended partition, instead of some logical partition inside?)

---

And this the line i added to /etc/fstab

Quote:

---

/dev/hda2 /mnt/windows vfat defaults 1 1

---

And for those who are wondering, yes the directory /mnt/windows does exisit. Now for some information on the partitions i have. I have 2 physical hdd. The active primary has 3 partitions on it. The first for my windows install (ntfs), second for rh linux(ext2), thrid for rh swap space(swap). Both the linux paritions are logical.
The drive i want to grab files from is the secondary drive. it has one partition (fat32).

Does anyone know how i can get access to this second drive thru linux? Thanks in advance. :D

A single partition on the second hard drive should be hdb1
To be sure type the command dmesg to view a log of all
your startup messages. It should give the identities of
the drives as the kernel finds them at startup.
