I have just installed and formatted a new harddrive in fat32 using gparted. I am dual booting vista and hardy and the partition is recognized in vista but I don't know how to set a mount point in ubuntu. My new drive is sda. I have a backup partition and data partition set up on sda.
EDIT: My main drive is for the OSs and program files and the new drive is for backup and shared files.

Partition table entries are not in disk order
Here's how my fstab looks:

#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
# /dev/sda6

I know creating an entry point has something to do with fstab, but i'm not sure what to put since the content of it is different than expected.
