Unhappy File system is root only after installing SUSE11.0


Hi all
After recently installing Suse11.0 some of my filesystem is accessible as administrator (root). I cannot chmod, chown or chgrp any files or folders on /local

The result of fdisk -l is:

*listing*****

Partition table entries are not in disk order

*END listing****

mount is:

/dev/sdc1 on /media/HARDDRIVE type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,noatime,flush,uid=1000,utf8,shortname=lower)


*END listing****

and fstab is:

*listing****

*END listing***

I also cannot get my printer to work (Nothing is getting to the queue).

I am running Linux 2.6.25.5-1 with KDE desktop.

Thank you in anticipation
Graham


PS I've edited the fstab file to include the line:

** CODE ***
/dev/sdb1 /local ntfs-3g auto,users,umask=000
** END CODE ***

and then run 'mount -a'

It has made no difference!

Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you
Graham Benney


PPS

I've changed in the fstab file fmask and dmask values for the /local mount to be 000 and 000. This allows me to read and write to the files but NOT to change the ownership. However I'm happy with the result.
Thanks all
