I tried mounting the hda1 my primary dos drive occupied by Win95. I used both commands (mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt and mount -t msdos -t msdos /dev/hda1 /mnt )but it didn't worked. I keep getting a bad bread vfat error. Installed redhat through cdrom and it was fine and tried cabaret and setup tools and my drive shows(unknown type). My system is running with a fat 32 table. I suspect that is part of my problem. Is there a way to access a HD even when its fat32? Are there other linux OS (debian or slackware)that supports this ? I looking for a solution other than repartitioning my HD and converting it.

Linux can't read my HD...

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.

Linux

A Linux distribution is an operating system made as a software collection based on the Linux kernel and, often, on a package management system and are available for a variety of systems. A typical Linux distribution comprises a Linux kernel, GNU tools and libraries, additional software, documentation, a window system (the most common being the X Window System), a window manager, and a desktop environment. Most Linux systems are open-source software made available both as compiled binaries and in source code form, allowing modifications to the original software. Over three hundred distributions are in active development, including commercially backed distributions (such as Fedora, openSUSE and Ubuntu) and community-driven distributions (such as Debian, Slackware, Gentoo and Arch Linux).
