Mounted windows drive but..
I can only access though the terminal. I load up the file directory panel and it shows the windows drive with a paddle lock on it.
but if I log in as ROOT user than I can acces it. BUt I want to use my normal user to browse. How can I get my user (buzz) to have access this? |
In /etc/fstab modify the windows entry like this:
/dev/hdax /mnt/win2 vfat defaults,uid=500,gid=500 0 0 Where x is your hardrive and uid, gid are set to your user (buzz). Regards, Sourian |
If you see a "lock" on the moun point, your user probably don't have right to that dir. try to chmod +666 on thew mount point. All user should be able to READ a mounted partition but only root should be able to WRITE, until you modify your fstab.

still dont' work, this is what I wrote in the fstab.
/dev/hda1 /mnt/winxp ntfs buzz,uid=500,gid=500 0 0 & /dev/hda1 /mnt/winxp ntfs default,uid=500,gid=500 0 0 is that correct? both of those don't work this is how I mounted. mkdir /mnt/winxp mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/winxp |
open a console and type id to see the uid & gid for your current user (buzz).
It should work with /dev/hda1 /mnt/winxp ntfs defaults,uid=500,gid=500 0 0 you should write defaults not default. hope it works. sourian |
