Add the entry for the partition to your /etc/fstab file.

Code:

/dev/sda3 mount_point vfat rw,auto

I followed the sugestion but other users only can read not write on this partition.

Thank you.

Hi!
I was wondering what happens if you give all users read/write permissions to the mount_point.
Try this and tell me if it is ok.

okay, now i made it. I put this line into the fstab and everything is ok

/dev/sda3 mount_point vfat rw,nouser,auto,uid-500,gid-500,umask=077 0 0

Thank you.
