Hi, The permissions of mount seem ok. How exactly are you trying to mount the partition? If you are typing something like 'mount /dev/hdaX /mnt/win' it won't work unless you have the appropriate permissions on the raw /dev/ device (Only root can do that ;). You should have an fstab entry similar to the following for your win partition: /dev/hdaX /mnt/win vfat defaults,user,noauto 0 0 Typing 'mount /mnt/win' will cause mount to look for the appropriate device to mount in /etc/fstab and if it sees the user or users option, it will mount it for you as a regular user (if /bin/mount is setuid root, as it normally is). Hope this helps. ~Scott
