User permissions for windows directory

[nrmx]

I mounted my windows directory to /mnt/win but I can't seem to write to the directory. The premissions are set to 755. Every time I try to change them to 777 it says operation not permitted, even as root. Anyone have any idea as to how to write file to that dir.

BTW>The dir is mounted at startup the /etc/fstab line reads

/dev/hda1 /mnt/win vfat defaults 0 0

if that means anything.

Change the fstab entry to

/dev/hda1 /mnt/win vfat defaults,umask=000 0 0


remount the drive and see if it gets better.
