I can't mount a fat32 drive

I added a fat32 drive to my secondary controller on my Linux box. The kernel recognized it because I can ls /proc/ide and see it. Also if I do a fdisk -l /dev/hdc I see the drive listed as Win95 FAT32 with the correct stats. Now for the problem. When I run "mount -t vfat /dev/hdc /mnt/msdos" I get this error: fatfs: bogus cluster size VFS: Can't find a valid MSDOS filesystem on dev 16:00. mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hdc, or too many mounted file systems I even unmounted one of my other mounts to see if the error was because of too many mounted file systems.

Try mounting without specifying the file system type, i.e "mount /dev/hdc /mnt/msdos" I'm not an expert but that's how I'm getting about the problem on my machine. Good luck

Have you forgot the partition number after hdc (like /dev/hdc1 or /dev/hdc2) or its a typo?
