partition to fstab file and I have loaded the fat. o modules at boot
but when I Browse the windows directory /mnt/win98 (using Gnome) All its
contents are not recognized. How to arrange this please ???

Thanks

When you say "all its contents are not recognized", do you mean that
some of them are recognized? Which ones are, and which ones aren't?

Do the ones that are not recognized have anything in common (such as
filenames with non-english/latin characters)?

Using the vfat kernel module and filesystem type instead of fat will give
support for MS Win FAT extensions, eg long file names.
