I tried both EricS and Michael's edits to fstab, but the most I got was
being able to sudo access the folder. On the actual drive I can do
stuff, but when I try to access that folder I get a permission denied
unless the command has been sudo'd...
<br>
<br>
By the by, what's the easiest way to open a root terminal in Ubuntu?<br>
<br>
Thanks, Josh<br>

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

<br>
Do you want 'user' for a hard disk partition?<br>
<br>
One warning: Don't change the data while windoze is hibernating.
<br>
<br>
Is there a way to get XP to unmount a FAT32 partiton before hibernating?<br>
<br>
