Ken and John-
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?
If you know what partitions they're on just add the following to your
/etc/fstab file. This will mount those partitions every time you boot
up Linux.
/dev/hda2 /mydocs vfat rw,user,conv=auto 0 0
Substitute you proper partition number for the /hda2 as shown above.
Use a mount name of your choice

Edit your FSTAB (as root) to show that partition similar to the following:
/dev/hda/mnt/windows/vfatauto, user, rw, (etc--whatever other
mods you want in here) 00
This is assuming that Windows is loaded onto your primary partition on an

I think you're asking how to access windows partitions? If not then please
disregard.
To have your windows partition mounted at startup, edit /etc/fstab with the
line
/dev/hda1/Windows vfat defaults 0
0
This assumes that windows is
