Questions on the lists please, many eyes make all bugs shallow ;).
Also, help requests go to Linux-India-Help, not to LIG.
Topic is being moved to LIH.

I assume 5G for Linux.

Mine is slightly different, hda is devoted to Linux, hdc is for Win95 and NT.

Win2K is supposed to have problems with Linux filesystems, but no idea of exactly what they are.
It finds the FAT32 partition corrupt? Could you please specify which file system you are trying to mount it as?
try 
#mount /dev/hda1 -t vfat /mnt
This should let you access c: under /mnt, assuming /dev/hda1 is c:.
Otherwise let us know your partition tables from fdisk, and we will try to figure out the bug.
The corrupted filesystem is usually because the filetype is specified wrongly. For NTFS, I think you have to recompile the kernel, NTFS support is not included in by default.
