Mount disks, Drives, etc.

Mount a file system

mount 
-t  identifies file system type

Mount cdrom? 
mount /mnt/cdrom

Mount floppy? 
mount /mnt/floppy. (Don't forget to umount it when your done)

Mount  a dos floppy? 
mount -t msdos /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy 

Mount a fat partition?
mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /demos
 

Unmount a mounted device. 
umount [device] 
umount -a will (re)mount all file systems listed in /etc/fstab.

Information on mounted devices (eg. Disks, cdroms, etc) are in  /etc/fstab

*Please note that /mnt/floppy and /mnt/cdrom are made by default.  If you want to be able to mount other files systems like your win95 partition do this. Mkdir /mnt/vfat. To mount it at any time type mount -t vfat /dev/hda1 /mnt/vfat. hda1 is the first partition on your hard drive, hda2 is the second, hdb1 is the first partition on your second hard drive. 

Read up on mount as it is useful.  Lastly all of these can be put in /etc/fstab so that you can simply type mount /mnt/vfat for example.
