I fixed my Mdk9.1, with info I read on this list some time back, as root: edit the following line in fstab, /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0 to /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 1 0 then execute: # /sbin/lilo Upon reboot it sets the vfat partition read/writeable by users. I can now read and write to the windows partition as user. No idea if I have actually compromised anything. YMMV. regards, Richard. > -- > Bill Mullen [EMAIL PROTECTED] MA, USA RLU #270075 MDK 8.1 & 9.0
