Mounting

I'm running Win98 with fat32
and Linux Redhat 5.2 ext2 file system

I mounted one of my harddives as both msdos and auto and evertime I come back I get scandisk telling me long file error this and that even if I don't touch long file names.  The exact error is that Long file name blabla doesn't match any file so we are going to destroy it.  I don't loose the file but it's othersome.  

Then I mounted a CD and maked an ISO, burned it from Windows and two files were currupt, I think its the CDROM but I'm not sure.

Also, Linux and Windows handle Carriage Return/Line Feed differently in files, so there may be translation broblems causing the files to appear corrupt in Linux.

For some reason or another vfat wasn't part of the list of types.  Don't know why, just wasn't there in man, or help.  

Thanks
