How do I view files on a fat32 partition from my mandrake 9 vesrion of linux using the KDE Desktop?

You are going to want to mount the drive, first. Its better if you do it during the installation if you are somewhat new to Linux.

If your OS is already installed, then the best way to do this is to edit fstab with vim and add a line.

Follow these instructions somewhat:

$vim /etc/fstab

insert with i and add the following type of line
/dev/hda1 /mountc vfat defaults 0 0

then quit and save with !wq

then run mount -a to mount it.
