I'm dual booting a machine XP/FC4. The user wants write access to the

user I can't write to them. I've converted the Windows drives to
Fat32. I'm mounting them via fstab as vfat with:
/dev/hda1 /data1 defaults 0 0
The mount point (/data1) is 777 but a Linux user has no write access
to them. What am I doing wrong? I need all users to have write
access...
Thanks

FAT32 filesystems have no permissions to speak of. Permissions need to
be set at mounting, so in addition to defaults, add the option
uid=username, for the username you want as the owner, and/or
gid=username. Also, if you want them to be able to mount/unmount it, add
the option users, or user=username. See man mount for more details.
