Many moons ago i had this problem and somewhere I read that certain parameters can be added to the Windows partition data in /etc/fstab. I did this and users can read and write to my Windows partition. Here is my fstab entry: /dev/hda2 /dosc vfat defaults,user,auto,umask=002,gid=101 0 2 Maybe you only need the 'user' bit, but since it works I have left it like this. 'auto', of course, mounts the partition when I boot Linux. Hope this helps. -- Phillip Deackes Using Storm Linux 2000
