A non-existent drive.
There's no such thing as "/dev/hdab1".

I think the message you get is:
| Code: | mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/hda2,
or too many mounted file systems
|
(It is always wise to cut and paste the ACTUAL message instead of guessing what it was)
And now back to the question: what is this?
It is either a wrong fs type (Is the partition indeed vfat?), a bad option (can't be that), a bad superblock (did you fsck it?) or you have too many mounted drives.

Who knows, he might have a device like that, since if he doesn't have a device called "/dev/hdab1" then the error message would be | Quote: | | mount: special device /dev/hdab1 does not exist |
wouldn't it? |

Not if he has /mnt/drived in his fstab.
In that case it would try to mount from there and see the non-existent /dev/hdab1 as an option - and it would be bad

typo....
i did indeed type /dev/hdb1 but in the post i put /hdab1 sorry
i will run a fsck on the drive, and yes it is fat32 partition
i am confused, how do i have "TOO" many mounted drives? if that's the case, why use linux at all? i can mount them in windows just fine
