I snagged the 64 bit cd image, and running it from the CD.

I have a 3rd HDD I want to mount, but havent been able to at all.....
It's FAT32 so it shouldnt be a problem, but cant find anything about doing that running off the cd......

Thanks for your time......

So...you need to mount a harddrive, while running from the LiveCD?

Assuming your desired mount point for that disk is /media/foodisk, as root

Code:

mkdir /media/foodisk
mount -t fat32 /dev/<devicename> /media/foodisk

where <devicename> is the name of, well, the device.

here it is how to mount hdd with Fat32.... you'll be able to delete or edit or create files in it:
sudo mkdir /where/to/mount
sudo mount /dev/*** /where/to/mount/ -t vfat -o iocharset=utf8,umask=000

*** means your partinion.
to check this use fdisk -l command in terminal

I always get the stupid arguments in the wrong order and am rudely reminded of it at runtime...

i always put my options right after the mount command...much like you did..

mount -t blah -o blah /dev/hda1 /mnt/dir

I think that way is a more "*nix standard" way, but I don't think it really matters, as long as the device/mount dir are in the right order with respect to each other.
