what happens if you try to mount it from the command line?
mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/fat should work

I've tried and the sistem reply somthing like
dev/sda1 not such device
device or directory?.... if the directory doesn't exist you have to create it e.g. mkdir /mnt/fat
 
Unfortunatly device...

i've tried this:

mount -t vfat /dev/sda1 /mnt/Family/ -o rw,umask=000
mount: mounting /dev/sda1 on /mnt/Family/ failed: No such device

and also this:
blkid
/dev/sda2: LABEL="OPTWARE" UUID="2fe16844-7542-429d-8d0d-a30acded9c18"
/dev/sda1: LABEL="FAMILY" UUID="7697-9956"

mount -t vfat UUID=7697-9956 /mnt/Family/
mount: mounting /dev/sda1 on /mnt/Family/ failed: No such device


thanks for your help very appriciate
 
is the fat partition recognised on a windows machine?
you could try fsck.vfat -n /dev/sda1 and see if it throws up any errors
 
yes, it is recognised on my ubuntu machine and auto mounted at boot or whenever i plugged it into
Already tried and correct any corrupted block with fsck
