Jordan, I vaguely remember the problem from way back when I still had windows on my system. A suggestion follows : In /etc/fsab , edit (as root) the line to : /dev/hda6 /mnt/data vfat iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850, rw,nosuid,umask=0, 0 0 Especially the "umask=0" option allows all users to acces the filesystem. Be careful with the commas. Good luck Kaj Haulrich
