I am trying to access my FAT32 USB drive. There is an error when I try accessing it. I just want to access it read-only.

The error I get is:

Error mounting /dev/sde at /media/mink/34D2-84FB:
Command-line `mount -t "exfat" -o "uhelper=udisks2,nodev,nosuid" "/dev/sde" "/media/mink/34D2-84FB"'
exited with non-zero exit status 32: mount: unknown filesystem type 'exfat'

What commands should I use to access this drive?

ExFAT is not the same thing as FAT32; exFAT is an extended version of FAT, as described on its Wikipedia page. It requires a new driver. If the disk is FAT32, you should use the filesystem type vfat (or msdos if you want to limit yourself to 8.3 filenames). If the disk uses exFAT, then you need a driver for same, which is not standard. (I believe one is available via the Filesystems in Userspace (FUSE) subsystem, but I've never used it.)
