You need to put user as an option in /etc/fstab

/dev/hda1 /fat-c auto user 0 0

I had the same question on this. I tried the above, and I still get "permission denied" when trying to cd to the directory as a regular user. During installation I did go with the option of not allowing others access to fat-c, but now I've changed my mind. I've tried the chmod command as root or su but it doesn't take. What next?

Try changing your /etc/fstab file. Mine has this line

Code:

/dev/hda1        /fat-c           vfat        auto,rw,umask=000         1   0

and it works great.

Yup. That did the trick. Thanks a lot.
