That'll give access to group 46. Are you a member?
Simplest fix is to change to 'umask=000' and give everyone full access.

Do you want 'user' for a hard disk partition?

One warning: Don't change the data while windoze is hibernating.

Is there a way to get XP to unmount a FAT32 partiton before hibernating?


Mike.
