ok, now this is getting crazy, I've never (NEVER) had a problem
mounting/reading/writing to a vfat drive. Make your /etc/fstab line look as
follows:
/dev/hda1 /c vfat user,exec,umask=0 0 0
replacing hda1 with the proper drive coordinates, naturally.
the output of 'mount' should be:
/dev/hda1 on /c type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,umask=0)
It should be as simple as that, if not, you're probably running some wierd
version of mount or something would be my guess, or you could have an old or
hacked-out kernel, both of which are probably not the case.
