hi

I want to mount my windows partition (/dev/hda1) to some location

the problem is that on boot its being given permissions only for root. i want to be able to access it with a non root user

here is the line from /etc/fstab that mounts it
its exactly what i have for /dev/hda3 which has my main linux partition, and there are no permission errors from my normal user when i try to access /

Try adding this to the options:

uid=theusername,gid=thegroupname

HTH,

Patrick

try adding rw, uid, and gid options to the entry. Here's a very similar snip from my fstab.

Also look at umask - it sets the permissions of the files on the partition. Have a look at this from the FAQ forum: https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=29285
