Hi, Marcelo I don't know how your fstab looks like but I think you need the user option. The entry for my win95-partition looks like this: /dev/hda1 /mnt vfat defaults,user,noauto 0 0 This is mounted manually by any normal user and does always have the user's permissions. Hope this helps. Kind regards, Andreas.
