mounting fat32 drive in place of dvd drive

[Chunkywolf]

i already got the drive in and when i try

Code: Select all

mount -t vfat /dev/hdb1 /mnt/fat

/mnt/fat just turns into a read only directory

How would i actually access the drive??

what happens if you just do
mount /dev/hdb1 /mnt/fat

also what are the permissions on the /mnt/fat/ directory, you may need to chmod it 777 to make it readable by anyone other than root.
