Thanks, but that still doesn't explain why I can't find /dev/hda2 in the first place.
I have since found that booting into rescue mode from the install CD does find /dev/hda2 and mounts it accordingly. But it still doesn't work on a normal boot up.

Hi,
I have just installed Fedora Core 3, dual boot with Win XP. I have a separate partition for my files and so on, and I want to access it from linux. This is the set up of my system:
hda:
- hda1 (Windows XP - NTFS ~15GB)
- hda2 (Files - FAT32 ~ 25GB)
hdd:
- hdd1 (/boot - ext3 ~ 100MB)
- hdd2 - LVM Physical Volume (containing swap and / ~20GB)
This is recognised by the Hardware Browser, but when I try to mount hda2, it does not seem to exist in /dev, so unsurprisingly, I get the error: "mount: special device /dev/hda2 does not exist"
any ideas? Tom.

After the boot in normal mode, at the prompt on a terminal, what the command "ls /dev/hda*" shows?
