I have been having problems writing to my windows fat32 partition via Linux for a while. I changed my fstab file to the lines below, and it works beautifully now. Thanks!!! I have a question, though, what do the "1 0" mean at the end of the line? I tried to look it up but couldn't find it anywhere. All my other mounts have different numbers at the end. Thanks in advance!
Next it's off to get my modem working... :)
