Can't mount secondary hardrive for write access

Hi there,

I am trying to mount a secondary hardrive for write access on my Slackware 9.1 linux box. The partition is formatted using FAT32 and I try mounting it using the following command:

mount -t vfat -w /dev/hdb1 /mnt/hd

I have tried manually changing the permissions of the directory after it is mounted using chmod but it has no effect.

What error do you get when you try to write to the drive?

In windows I receive an error of "Cannot copy [file name]: Access Denied. Source file may be in use"
