Second Harddrive FAT32
 
Solved.

I had to chown the directory.

The hard drive won't just "appear" in fstab. You need to add it there. The line to add depends on the filesystem used and the way the drive is connected. Please post more details.

Ok I added it but I can only write to it under root. How can I change this?

Use the uid, gid, and/or mode mount options (see man mount) to restrict access to non-unix filesystems like fat32.

I tried using the chown command unmounting and then mounting it again and I'm having no luck.

Did you read my post? I said to "use the uid, gid, and/or mode mount options (see man mount) to restrict access to non-unix filesystems like fat32."
The only thing to do with chown/chmod would be to change the mount point's permissions , if it is what you want. Using chown on files on a fat32 partition is useless.

Ok Chown worked. Thanks for the help. Bye.

You must add a line like
/dev/hda3 /dos-drive vfat defaults 1 1
to fstab and the mount-point must be present as well.
