Thanks for the feedback. You may be right, John; regardless of how I try
to set the mount, it won't let anybody but root write to it. I certainly
understand the logic of not corrupting the DOS file system, but such a
hard-and-fast prevention seems to short-circuit any benefit of bei

It works fine for me, with one exception: the directory to which I mount
my windows partition is only writeable by root, even if I chmod it after I
mount the partition. Has anybody experienced that?

Can someone please explain how to mount the fat partition from Linux so that I

Hi out there!
How can I get access to the windows partition - and files there from linux
in mandrake 6.0.
Formerly I have been using SUSE Linux and the tool yast offered that in an
easy way. Something similar in Mandrake?
regards
Hans
