fstab mounting 2nd harddisk


My machine dual boots with windows and linux on 2 different harddisks.
I have setup my fstab to mount the windows vat32 partition at boot up under /home/username/harddisk.

Logged in as a user, I can view the windows drive but it is read only unless I am logged in as root.

The line in my fstab is

Quote:
/dev/hda1 /home/username/harddisk vfat rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,users 0 0
If I log in as root and change the permissions of the folder to my user name, I have read/write access, but after a reboot, its back to only root access.

Is there a way I can set it up so it is always rw for users?
