I have 2 drives,C, Windows and D, Home (which also contains Red Hat 9 installation).
I've managed to mount both drives and have read write access to both, apart from the My Music and My Pictures folders on the Home drive (i use the whole drive as the My Documents folder so i could just reinstall windows without a massive stack of CDs)

The two drives show in fstab as

/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat rw,auto,umask=0000,users,exec 0 0
/dev/hdd5 /mnt/windows2 vfat rw,auto,umask=0000,users,exec 0 0

but as i said, i have read/write access to other files on both drives, is this the problem?

Could we get a look at your entire partition map?

try this instead........
just like you see it......

Sorry took so long, spent days screaming at Linux because it wouldn't boot (my hard drive had died, not Linux's fault

LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
/dev/hdd3 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0

Hi

Try

/dev/hda1 /mnt/win vfat user,exec,dev,suid,rw,umask=000,auto 0 0

in your fstab. This gives me full access to all directories on my Windows 98 partition.
