Weird FAT32 Partition Types

Brad Thomas writes in with this curious issue: "I have a 2.5 Gig western digital harddrive that I converted to Fat32 with Window98. The entire driver is one fat32 partition encompassing the whole 2.5 gig. I also have a 800 meg partition on another drive that is also Fat32. According to cfdisk the 800 meg partition is of type B which is Fat32. The 2.5 gig is of type C which is another FAT32 variant. I can mount the 800 meg partition fine, but the operating system refuses to understand the partition type of C and will not mount this drive. I have noticed that not all 'fdisk' tools recognize the type C partition type. I even tried the latest developer kernel and still not luck. What am I missing?"
