I was reading that suse can't write but can read ntfs formatted drives

creative info shuffling I formatted a couple partitions to fat32 but suse
gives me an error saying: " Could not mount device. The reported error
was: mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/sda8.
missing codepage or other error. In some cases useful info is found in
syslog - try dmesg | tail or so"
I don't understand any of this.
Do I need to return to windows and fix the drives that way?
thank you for your help.
mount /dev/sda8 /mountpoint -t vfs
your problem is 'wrong fs type' - you are trying to mount it as
something else, look at the entry for the partition in /etc/fstab.
Even once you have it mounted correctly your problems are not entirely
over, it will be world-readable but only writeable by root. Have a
look at http://home.arcor.de/36bit/samba.html#4.9.1
ok, I changed the entry in fstab to: /dev/sda8 /windows/G
vfat ro,users,gid=users,umask=0002,nls=utf8 0 0
and I am still getting the same message.
