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

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

Try unmounting the partition and changing your fstab entry to something
like:
/dev/hda1 /data1 vfat noauto,user 0 0
After a reboot, this partition will not be mounted automatically, but
the user should be able to mount it with:
mount /data1 (notice there is not /dev file)
and unmount it with:
umount /data1
That user will then be the owner and can write to the partition.
