Re: [newbie] Writing access to a fat32 partition
Quoting Paul Smith [EMAIL PROTECTED]: Dear All I would like to know what is necessary to do in order to get writing access to a fat32 partition shared with MS Windows. Thank you a lot in advance! Paul -- Im having the same problems. Ive found and been told that a FAT32 partition created under linux is not detected in window.. i have no idea why. Which means we have to create the partition under windows, however after doing that i cannot get linux to change ownership/write-permission for the partition, even under root. I have tried in security settings (control panel), in a terminal (as root: chown *owner*.*group* /mnt/windows/, the folder's properties, even in windows, i have no idea how to change the permissions of the partition. Perhaps there is a hidden ownership on the partition so that even root cannot change the settings. Anyone help us out? Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

It's easier to set the options through Mandrake Control Center (Configure your computer). Use Mount Points, select the partition, then check options. It avoids the possibility of mis-typing or slight problem with syntax.
