Also, so you know, the chmod command is as follows
chmod [option]
in your case, you would have wanted something along the lines
chmod -R +rwx /windos
or chmod -R 777 /windos <-- using octal values
of course, this is assuming you have right permission to the drive in the
first place (see Don's post below). You can get the complet syntax for the
chmod command by typing 'chmod --help' another helpful command you will
want to learn is the 'chown' command, again, 'chown --help' for complete
syntax.
