I have mounted a disk drive on a Windows XP machine that was formatted
by a computer running vxworks. The disk was formatted to the DosFs
2.0 filesystem which is supposed to be a FAT32 compatible filesystem.

If I mount the drive using Linux, mounting as type vfat, I can see the
files on the drive just fine.

When I mount the drive using Windows XP, it shows up as an unformatted
drive or as a RAW disk.

Using the Linux box cannot be my solution due to the requirements of
the project.

How can I get Windows to properly mount and recognize this drive so
that I can access the data on it?

Thanks.

Do you have a partition table, or does the FAT32 partition span the
whole disk?

It has a partition table. Partition 1 is supposed to be FAT32.
Partition 2 is supposed to be FAT16.

Mounted on Fedora Linux:

# fdisk -l /dev/sde

255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 14447 cylinders

Sector Size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 512 bytes

Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System

Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.

Partition 2 does not end on cylinder boundary.
