I have an external disk drive of 2TB with two partitions, one NTFS and another with FAT32 format.
Open Ntfs On Mac
The NTFS partition is automatically mounted when i plug the device using Paragon NTFS but I don't know how to mount the FAT32 partition.
Can someone help me with this?
More info:Here is what windows shows on Disk Management when i plug the external disk

^ Thats how to mount fat drives/partitions in Mac OS, also useful for single user mode recovery. Note I think some versions may ship with 'mount_msdos' as opposed to using 'mount -t msdos' but I haven't used enough to say for sure.

Try 'diskutil mount /dev/disk1s2' in terminal (without quotes) and it should mount that drive for you.
