man fdisk
man mount
fdisk is not a mounting tool. It makes partitons on the disk.
Explain your steps better amd someone may be able to help you.

You should first run fdisk -l as root. If it says there's no such command, try /sbin/fdisk -l. Use the data it prints to mount the partition. You also might want to take a look at /root/.bashrc and /etc/fstab.

Post the output of running just mount, without any arguments.

mount -t vfat /dev/hda2 /mnt/WindowsFAT32

adding this:
/dev/hda2 /mnt/WindowsFAT32 vfat rw,user,auto,umask=000 0 0

That's wrong. First, you should add the options like rw when mounting. For example, mount /dev/hda2 /mnt/win_c -o rw,umask=0. And if you already added that in /etc/fstab, you can just run mount /mnt/win_c and umount /mnt/win_c
