ok im getting angry at this... i have been trying to get it forever
i go in terminal, make a windows directory, mount it like: mount /dev/hda1 /home/Drew/windows,
then in fstab i add this line:
/dev/hda1 /home/Drew/windows vfat user,uid=500,gid=500 0 0
but when i boot the windows directory either A) isnt there anymore or B) has a padlock on it.
if it is still there after booting i have to umount it and mount it again.
i know that the line i added in fstab is supposed to give access for users, because it is pissing me off that i can only access files as root and that i have to run everything from terminal.
any help as to why it wont mount and give user access would be greatly appreciated.
thank you.
