I guess your HDD might have developed bad blocks... this happnd with me also previously with my 2G Hdd...which got resolved after i booted with a 98 bootable floppy and ran a fdisk deleted the vfat partition n formatted the same ... i got a few bad blocks but now my that HDD is running smooth ..
and the reason why i am writing this is eventually i also used to get this similar type of vfat mounting errors ... while trying to mount the partition on a linux box...
try to get hold of a win9x bootable and run scandisk on your hdd ...may be it might detect the bad blocks n mark them properly ... u never know microsoft ;)
In my case I had the very same prob. & did the very samething as I had dual boot of Linux & Win, but after nearly a month of working my HDD crashed, so please be careful & backup all your data.
