What does the /etc/fstab line look like?

Does it have 'rw'?

David

No 'rw'. And am now having the same problem with the CD-ROM drive.
Here's the fstab:

/dev/hda5 / ext3 noatime 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
/dev/hda7 /home ext3 noatime 1 2
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrom auto umask=0,user,codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1,noauto,ro,exec 
0 0
none /mnt/floppy supermount 
dev=/dev/fd0,fs=ext2,--,umask=0,user,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs umask=0,ro,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda8 /usr ext3 noatime 1 2
/dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0
