Peace!

I have installed Mandrake Yesterday. I am a RedHat good user , but as I have time I decided to try it. I have installed Mandy9.2. I have found that my win partitions are mounted automatically, but I can't use them as a normal usr. I can't do $ cd /mnt/win_c/ say. I should be su each time I want to do that. I have a security level STANDARD, I tried the drake tool to fine tune my permissions (from the kiker, configuration-> configure my computer-> security -. fine tune securiy) But I have noticedc that when I logged in as a root and I try to right click the folder to change the permission, the chech sign disappears after I apply it, and say it can't change permissions!!! I am the root, yet I can't change permissions. I am sure it is easy, but it is obsecure to me. I have added my fstab file as it may help you.

this is how my vfat partition's line looks like in fstab:

/dev/hda7 /mnt/win_e vfat umask=0,iocharset=utf8,codepage=850 1 0

add umask=0 to your partition's line in fstab.

and may i suggest that you upgrade to mandrake 10.1 ?

Change the two mounted partition: 

/dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/win_d vfat codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1 0 0

T0: 

/dev/hda1 /mnt/win_c vfat users,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,ro,umask=000 0 0
/dev/hda5 /mnt/win_d vfat users,codepage=850,iocharset=iso8859-1,ro,umask=000 0 0

users:These is very useful option. The user option allows normal users to mount the device

ro: These is a very useful option. Mount the filesystem read-only.

umask: These is a very useful option, used to set initial file permis­sions on a newly-created file. This gives absolutely everybody all the permissions on you

I used to be indecisive .. but now I'm not so sure

u can do this

/dev/hda6 /mnt/win_e vfat defaults,uid=501 1 0

uid option enables a certain user to own this drive
