Close; mount -t auto /dev/sda1 /mnt/cardreader

Most of the time the format is vfat, but in some (rare) cases it's msdos
(fat). By using the auto switch instead of vfat or msdos both should be
covered.

Since you now know the mounting info for you Windows partition and
hopefully your cardreader, as root you can add them to /etc/fstab examples
below;

/dev/hda1 /mnt/Windows vfat noauto,users,rw 0 0

/dev/sda1 /mnt/cardreader vfat noauto,users,rw 0 0

See 'man mount' and 'man fstab' without the quotes for the details and
other options.
