Howdy all,
I am trying to change permissions of a directory on my system so I can use
it to install etc programs into.  I cannot get it to work though.
I have Linux install on the 1st partition of my HD, Linux swap on #2, and
Windows on #3.  I have a primary slave installed which I use for all my
Wind'ohs games.  I then have  a 6GB secondary master installed on which I
would like to keep my temp files, installed progs etc.  Under /dev/hdd1,
the owner of th device is listed as me (wapether) not root.  However, the
directories are listed as root owned.  When I log on as root and try to
change the ownership of these, it tells me:

[root@F11-pc-3B022-1 DOS_hdd1]# chown -v wapether Wayne/
failed to change owner of Wayne to wapether
chown: Wayne: Operation not permitted
[root@F11-pc-3B022-1 DOS_hdd1]#      

What is the specific command I use to change ownership of this directory
to my user profile?

Wayne
