I have a Windows Partition, formated FAT32, that I need to be able to write to. I was able to do so up until last week when I had to reload Win2K on it.
When I look at the permissions on /windows/C, I see
drwxrwxr-x
I try to add the write bit by
chmod -R +ow /windows/C
but nothing changes. I know I'm missing something obvious and have turned on my "dumb" mode. Can anyone point out my mistake? Check your mount command. /dev/hda1 on /windoz/c type vfat (rw,noexec,nosuid,nodev,user=xxx) Make sure it is mounted r/w. Can you change to root and write to it? The permissions of the /windows/C directory should reflect the mount: Unmounted: drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 48 2003-09-01 14:23 c Mounted: drwxr-xr-x 18 xxx xxx 4096 1969-12-31 19:00 c Note that I use my user name as a unique group name.
