Not able to give execute permissions

needanyhelp? · 08-18-2004, 11:09 PM

Hi,
I am using Fedora core 2.
I am able to mount all the windows fat drives and also in write mode.
But i am not able to execute any programs in the windows drives.
i gave 777 permissions to the directory and also to all the files but
still not able to execute.

guess i should change my username to needsomehelp!

Thank You
bye

what exactly are you trying to do??
do any of these files end with .........exe??
linux won't do windows executables.........unless you have
wine installed............

Hi,
I am talking about a.out not exe files.
suppose i have a .c file in the windows drives and i mount the drive
Not i compiled that .c file in the windows drive which i mounted and i got
a a.out file.when i do ./a.out it is saying Permission Denied.
bye

Hi,
Thanks for the help.
it worked i had to just add exec in my fstab and remove other options.
Thanks a lot
