Thanks Gareth, Checked/etc/passwd and my uid is 500
I tried the following lines in fstab but still the same (no user write rights) /dev/hda2 /home/robert/storage vfat uid=500,gid=500,umask=007 0 0 /dev/hda2 /home/robert/storage vfat rw,user,noauto 0 0 0 /dev/hda2 /home/robert/storage vfat defaults,user,noauto 0 0 0 Regarding the login manager, your suggestion of looking in the prefdm file suggested I try adding DISPLAYMANAGER="KDE" to /etc/sysconfig/desktop and Voila, that is sorted.
