You have a very old version of Fedora.

Probably your disks are NTFS formatted. You need to enable NTFS on the linux kernel.

Shalom,

Please post the mount command you are using and the error code.

The NTFS mounting capabilities of Fedora is much improved with more recent versions of the OS.

sudo mount -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0222 /dev/sdc1 /test

and for FAT use following

mount -t vfat -o iocharset=utf8,umask=000 /dev/sdc1 /test
