You'll probably need to be root to access /etc/fstab. So, try switching to root using "su" or running the editor through "sudo".

Once in the editor, locate the line "/dev/hdb5 /media/hdb5 vfat rw,defaults,user,gid=1000,umask=0222 0 0 0" and change it to "/dev/hdb5 /media/hdb5 vfat rw,user,auto,umask=0000 0 0 0". See "man mount" for details on the mount options you can specify.

Thank you again. But 'fraid i'm confused again.

What am I looking for amongst the pges of txt at man mount to
establish a permanent rwr acces to hdb5 ?

According to "man 8 mount" (as mentionned), the -o <options> need to go before the mounted filesystem and the mountpoint.
