I have scoured the various posts on setting up a shared partition several times, and manual documentation, and have succeeded in getting the Windows partition accessible from Linux. I have achieved this by the following entry in /etc/fstab: # the windows shared partition /dev/hde5 /home/win vfat async,user,exec,mode=777,unmask=000 However, the user logins are not automatically granted write permissions. I am not entirely sure if I should be attempting to retain Windows permissions, or simply override them in Linux. My presumption here is that the mode variable should be giving full permissions to all users. Sam
