    As someone already pointed out, the problem is you need to specify the
    partition rather than the whole disk ... /dev/hdda probably.

    But I also wanted to add, you should read about the mount options for the
    vfat filesystem, in particular the "shortname" option. You might want to
    use "shortname=mixed" to get the system to handle the upper/lower case
    letter issue a little better.
