You need to mount the partition.
mount -t msdos /dev/hd? /mnt/wherever
^
this is the drive and partition info (hda1)
also the directory wherever has to be in existence before you mount to it.

Actually, you should use vfat instead of msdos as the filesystem. msdos will mount it as a FAT16, while vfat will mount it as a FAT32.
