I can't help you with NTFS, but the FAT32 ones should not pose a
problem.
Basically you need to mount the FAT32 partition somewhere - e.g. on
/media/dos (or wherever you feel like). You'll need to edit your
/etc/fstab to include the line:
/dev/hda9 /media/dos vfat noauto,users 0 0
The first bit (/media/hda9) is just a wild guess on my part: It
identifies the partition on your hard disk - you should change this
according to your own partitioning.
The second bit (/media/dos) is where you want the files to appear -
this should point to an empty directory.
For users to use the partition, all they need to do is to mount it
first, e.g.:
fred$ mount /media/dos
I suspect NTFS can be take care of in the same way, but I've never used
it myself. YMMV.
Hope this helps
