help with Linux Fedora core 1

[KerriAnn]

hi all,
i have just recently installed Linux Fedora Core 1 onto the second partition of my hard drive, and i have a couple of questions.
first- how do i mount a partition? i have learned that this is what i need to do in order to have read/write access to my 3rd partition, which uses the fat32 file system.
second- i cannot figure out how to use the grub boot loader. i am almost certain that during the install, i selected the recommended choice, which was to install grub in the first part of the partition i was installing fedora to... but i am having to use the boot diskette if i want the bios to load linux for me, instead of windows xp pro... how do i configure the boot loader?

thanks in advance...

Depending on GUI.

#1: Go to system tools, Disk Management. Also, if you want it permanent, you will have to go in your fstab file and put something along this line, depending on which HD & partition combo you have:

/dev/hda2 /mnt/fat32drive1 vfat user,rw,noauto 0 0

#2: You wrote to the MBR, you have to do the 2nd option, which is putting blah blah blah at the front of the disk. It is under advanced options when setting it up.
EDIT: If you are doing this on a RAID setup, it is much more complicated. Search for topics that "grub" has posted in. He is really thorough with instructions.
