I'm having some trouble getting my Windows Drive to mount as being writable for all users, I get it to mount for read with no problems but everything I've tried to give it read/write isn't working except for root. Here is the line in the fstab to mount at boot...
/dev/hde1 /windows vfat defaults,rw 1 1
I have tried adding 'user' instead of 'defaults' but still tells me 'permission denied' when i try to write. What am I missing?

/dev/hde1 /windows vfat defaults,umask=000 1 1
the permissions are the oposite of chmod, so if you wanted 755 you say 022.

You probably should change the 1 1 to 0 0.
You don't want Linux to check your windows file system. and I doubt you use "dump" to backup your file systems

Thanks for that tip...I was wondering why it started running checks and warning me that FAT32 was still ALPHA :)
