The problem you are having is because on a Windoze partition you
can only set the permissions for the entire filesystem (partition) as
opposed to individual files/directories, and those permissions can only be
set at mount time. They default to root being the only one who can write
to a Windoze filesystem.
Have a read of "man fstab" and look at the options for "vfat" and
"msdos" filesystem types. As an example part of my /etc/fstab file looks
like...
/dev/hda3 /mnt/dildows vfat uid=1006,gid=26,rw,suid,noexec,auto,async 1 1
