Setting permissions for games to run off of mounted partition in cedega


After reinstalling Kubuntu recently I have been trying to set up the correct permissions in order to let games run off of their already-installed partitions (well, mainly City of Villains). I know it can be done since I had it set up this way before..but now it is being difficult and when I select the partition (in this case /media/hda8/CoH/Covupdater.exe) and start it up I will recieve an error from the updater saying I have insufficient permissions. My current permissions are as follows:
Quote:
users,exec,umask=0
I've looked around to an extent for what it should be..but couldn't seem to find it..

Thanks in advance!

what command did you use to find permissions?
b/c i'm also having issues with "insufficient permissions" even when i'm super user or i use sudo

and if your hda8 is a windows partition, then i'm having the same problem mounting partitions in edubuntu
