I nned to upgrade an embedded system to utlise a FAT32 formatted hard drive. Is there any freely available source code out there that will do this ?

Why not? The Linux kernel supports FAT32. So he could find some sourcecode there.

Find yes.
But that source will be GPL licensed. If you have it as a part of your application you should release that as GPL too. In this case it is better to look at BSD code.
If on the other hand you can upgrade to use Linux as OS your application will be safe :-)

Perhaps NetBSD (or other BSD) code. AFAIK they support FAT*.

Yep, they do. NetBSD kernel code is a great place to cut and paste from, since it's designed to be very modular; seperation of concerns is vital to make NetBSD as portable as it is :-)

Do a google on FreeDOS. It's an open source clone of good ole DOS. Included is FAT32 code in C. Not sure how easily you can disentangle it from the OS kernel but....it's free...
Because it is not trivial to port a Linux 32bit Sourcecode to some embedded microcontroller. But this is of course not MY problem :-)
