Logged on as Root, I find that I am denied permission to grant myself, as User, the Right to Write mounted msdos Partition files :(

How can I fix this ?

You can use the mount option umask. Here an example /etc/fstab line which lets every user write to the partition: /dev/hda6 /drv/d vfat defaults,umask=000 0 0 If you want to grant write permission only to a specific user you can use the uid option. This line lets only the user with uid 1234 (login names can't be used here) write to the partition: /dev/hda6 /drv/d vfat defaults,uid=1234,umask=022 0 0 There also exists the option gid which sets the group of all files on the partition.
