Not able to give execute permissions
 

Hi,
I am using Fedora core 2.
I am able to mount all the windows fat drives and also in write mode.
But i am not able to execute any programs in the windows drives.
i gave 777 permissions to the directory and also to all the files but
still not able to execute.

guess i should change my username to needsomehelp! :)
Thank You
bye

what exactly are you trying to do??
do any of these files end with .........exe??
linux won't do windows executables.........unless you have
wine installed............

Hi,
I am talking about a.out not exe files.
suppose i have a .c file in the windows drives and i mount the drive
Not i compiled that .c file in the windows drive which i mounted and i got
a a.out file.when i do ./a.out it is saying Permission Denied.
bye

Hi,
Thanks for the help.
it worked i had to just add exec in my fstab and remove other options.
Thanks a lot
