!mounting in Mandrake 8.2!
 
I have problems with mounting windows partitions under mandrake 8.2. I can mount them as a root, but if I try to do it as a user, I get the following error message: You don't have enough permissions!
And that's not all; the same problem I have with mounting CDs and floppy!
If I try to change permission to a mounting point (e.g. (/mnt/cdrom) as a root, I can't, because I don't have enough permissions, again!
What do I do wrong???

hum...
you just CANT mount partition when you are logged in as user.
Create a new group/user with enought permission or use command prompt.

Edit your /etc/fstab file. Add user to the lines for cdrom, floppy, and windows. The lines below are the ones I use.

/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy vfat user,noauto,rw 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom iso9660 user,noauto,ro 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat user,noauto,ro 0 0

If you want all users to have full permissions to the Windows partition, use the "umask" option in place of the "ro" option. To use linuxcool's example:

/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat user,noauto,umask=0 0 0
