linux will easily see and r/w fat32.
you can access it by using the mount command -
$mount /dev/hda3 /mnt/harddrive
/dev/hda3 will be your fat32 partition. but, it can be hda2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or
hdc? you can use fdisk /dev/hda to and then press p, to see the partiton
table, and you can see where your fat32 is.
then the /mnt/harddrive will be a directory you make to mount the partition
you can make a directory where ever you want, doesnt need to be under /mnt
I hope this is what you are reffering to in your question...
