Ok, think this works :)
Now, I'd like to mount the linux partition, too :)
then, somehow convert the windows partiont to fat....

thanks,

sdb3 is [part of] a LVM, so you don't mount /dev/sdb3. You should mount
the logical volumes which have been created from the available disk
partitions.
You have two LVM partitions, /dev/sda3 and /dev/sdb3. LVM will have been
used to create one or more physical volumes from these, which will then
have then been partitioned/allocated to logical volumes. Use pvdisplay
and lvdisplay to see what physical and logical volumes are in existence.
Your mount table shows VolGroup00-LogVol00 as already mounted. This
means that there is a physical volume VolGroup00 and from that the
logical volume LogVol00 has been created, formatted and mounted as your
root partition.
If this is a default partitioning scheme then swap might also have been
allocated out of VolGroup00, as LogVol01.
What do you want to do to convert the Windows partition to FAT32? I
don't know of any way to convert it without destroying the data. If you
want the data you'll have to back it up, then restore if after you
convert the filesystem to FAT32.
