How do I mount my FAT32 HD in Linux? Everytime I use the mount command, it says FAT32 not supported by Kernel?

mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/cdrive
should work just fine..
replace /dev/hda1 with your harddisk device
replace /mnt/cdrive with whichever directory you want to mount it in
If it doesn't detect the filesystem automatically try mentioning explicitly
mount /dev/hda1 -t vfat /mnt/cdrive
you use 'vfat' to mount FAT32 partitions.
If you want it to mount at boot everytime, make the entries in
/etc/fstab
read man mount for more info

I figure that you mistyped that and meant
-t vfat
no need for the 32
Though it usually autodetects FAT32 partitions just fine.. try just
mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/cdrive
Cheers
