However, when I tried to change the permition of the /mnt/windows directory, by using chmod -R g+r /mnt/windows/, nothing happen. I mean I continue having: dr-x------ 1 root root 16384 Jan 22 12:35 windows I just would like to change the permition, in order to be able to read the mounted windows directory from my home directory (~/hoffmann). Would you mind, once again, talking to me? Many thanks! Hoffmann ps: In case, I decided to unmount that windows directory, in order to mount it in another directory (for instance, /windows, INSTEAD of /mnt/windows), which command should I use? Is it safe to do that? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo! Mail has the best spam protection around http://mail.yahoo.com
