Mark, If got my comp doing what you describe. I got it to do this at install. However this line is the line in my fstab that mounts at boot. All users can write to this drive. (since good ol winders doesn't know from permissions) /dev/hdd1 /mnt/data vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,umask=0,codepage=850 0 0
then the permissions on the /mnt/data dir are 777 James On Sat, 12 Jan 2002 11:11:57 +0600 "Mark D'voo" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have an extra ide harddrive which needs to be shared between windows and > linux.
