Hey, im trying to change the permissions for my windows partition so that i can write into it on a normal user. Atm i can't even write onto it via root, and it wont let me change the permissions on root either.
Ive tried going onto the windows boot and sharing the Partition but it says its only for admins blah blah. I then tried to share a directory in it, but when i went back to the linux root there was not difference.
What do i have to do?
There are two ways to do this. One is by editing /etc/fstab, but it2s easier to do it through the Mandrake Control Center.
Click Mount Points, then on DiskDrake and you'll see your partitions. Click on your Windows partition, then "Toggle to Expert Mode". This will produce a button labelled Options. Click on that and see what you have checked. Normally you shouldn't have anything checked - make sure in particular that noauto isn't checked, or if it is, that user and umask=0 are checked.
