No need for a separate partition.  Although I am a Linux newbie also,
I find that mount -t vfat <winsux partition> <mount point> works fine.
Interestingly, I installed a drive from my old computer into the new
one in order to transfer some important (i.e. pov related) files and
nothing I could do would get winsux 98 to recognize that drive.  Too
old, I guess.  On the other hand, Linux read that old winsux 95 drive
easily and transferred the stuff to the winsux partition, thus saving
the winsux data that would otherwise have been lost.  Put that in
Bill's pipe and smoke it.
