    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.

    sorry i'm new here post what??
    i've did it with this:

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

    then in /etc/ i edit fstab
    adding this:
    /dev/hda2 /mnt/WindowsFAT32 vfat rw,user,auto,umask=000 0 0

    that help's?

    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
