Default How do I mount a Fat32 data partition in Fedora?

I'm new to Linux, and just installed Fedora FC2. I have it on an ext3
partition on a single drive, with a swap on the same drive, and both a
third partition on that drive and another HD that I want to mount and see
from inside Gnome but cant figure out how. I tried adding to the Gnome
task bar the Utility->Disk Mounter, but cant get it to find the other
partition or HD in order to mount it.

Anybody have advice?

Thanks.

you have to make a directory in /mnt, for example, /mnt/example
Which IDE channel does your another hd connect?
The IDE 0,first channel => hda, first partition=>hda1,...
The IDE 0,second channel =>hdb
The IDE 1,first channel => hdc
The IDE 1,second channel =>hdd

then you type the comman below,
#mount -t ext3 /dev/yourHD /mnt/example

please note you can't mount the disk when you are in the mounted directory.

That will be OK!
