PS - Could I use chown adagilson /windows/G to gain permission to write do this windows partition? because "root" is the owner but I didn't achieve, using Kuser, to set permission for user adagilson. Also, I tried chmod +w /windows/G, as root, but nothing happens :( The same for chmod 777 /windows/G.
Erm, no, for this you need to edit the permissions in the /etc/fstab file. I'm not sure of the exact details because I have no Windows drives to deal with, but looking at man fstab and man mount will give you pointers - reading the docs is very much the right way to learn these things.
My /etc/fstab drives looks like this for my Windows drive (there is more in this file, I just copy/pasted the relevant section): =-=-=-=-=-= /dev/hda1 /windows/C ntfs noauto,user 0 0 /dev/hdb1 /windows/D vfat noauto,user 0 0 /dev/hdb2 /windows/E vfat noauto,user 0 0 /dev/hdb3 /windows/F vfat noauto,user 0 0 -=-=-=-=-=- Note that the ntfs file system should be used as a readonly system for now. With these fstab lines, I can mount (either manually or by a Desktop icon) these drives and read/write as any user on my system. C.
