How about trying chmod +2666 /windows/* -R And then try azureus again?

Can somebody please advice me with this problem?
I have three fat32 partitions mounted in "/windows/c" "/windows/d" and "/windows/e" directories i can with any user write/read these partitions. I cannot however use a program called "azureus" to download to these partitions as it give me a file creation fault. however it does create the file but with a 0kb file size. I can download to my home dir but space is limited.
Thanks

That will not work.
It is impossible to change the permissions of a file on a fat32 partition for the simple reason that fat32 has no concept of file 'attributes'.
All we can do is 'spoof' the permissions of every file on the partition when it is mounted. This is achieved with the 'umask' option in the appropriate line in /etc/fstab
Setting umask=0 will force all files to have 777 permission.
If you prefer diskdrake can set that option for you be selecting the fat32 partition Advanced options.

I had no problems changing permissions on my FAT32 partitions, i even had to do it, but i have seen something with the umask option in the fstab as i had to change something to make it believe it could support an Ext3 partition from an older Linux installation of Redhat. (don't know why that fuzz was all about, but didn't wanted to mount that particular partition)
