Hi I'm running Redhat and WinXP on the same machine. I have mounted my windows C and D drives in Linux under /mnt/winc and /mnt/wind. Both drives are FAT32. When I'm not logged on as root, I cannot write to these drives, only read. When I'm logged in as root everything works OK. How can I give myself permission to write to my own drives?
ive been having the same problem with peanut linux which i installed 3 days ago on an old pc. but I cant change permission on the windows drives even under root. tried chmod 777 /dev/hda1 then under mnt/windows i did chmod 777 *.*, chmod g+w, and so on to no effect. typed dir...no permissions changed.
