> I talked my friend, who is a big Windows fan, to trying linux.

> He has 2 drives, and he has linux on hdc1 and win98 on hda1.
> 
> When we set the box up, I mounted hda1 so he could get to his
> windows files from linux.
> 
> Now when ever he tries to mount hda1 with type vfat he gets
> a message:
> 
> $ mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/cdrive
> 
> mount: fs type vfat not supported by kernel
> 
> He said is was working and then all of a sudden this started
> to happen. No rebuild has been done.

> Does anyone have any idea what is causing this and how to fix it?
