[Resolved] Reading windows partition from linux.


I've recently been attempting to set up my linux installation to be able to read my windows partition. I've found a way to read the windows partition, by manually mounting the partition from a terminal, but I want to set up my fstab so that the partitoin will automatically mount whenever linux is started. The mount command that I use to _manually_ do this(which works correctly), is:
Code:
mount -t vfat -o uid=gauntalus /dev/hdc1 /mnt/windoze
And my fstab entry currently looks like this:
Code:
/dev/hdc1               /mnt/windoze    vfat            user,umask=007,gid=gauntalus    0 0
I would like for the "windoze" partition to be accessable to all users. The fstab entry that I've posted there above doesn't even work when logged in as "gauntalus", however the manual mount command above it does. How should I change my fstab entry so that the "windoze" partition is automatically accessable to all users?
