linux and windows partition

Thread Starter 
After partitioning my HD and installing I somehow managed to make a FAT32 partition accesible to both Fedora and XP (using mnt). Now I have noticed that the permissions are set to drwxr_xr_x. I tried to use chmod 777 to give write access to all users, but it's not working. How do I change the permissions on such a mounted device?

PHP Code:
sudo mkdir /media/windows sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/windows/ -t vfat -o umask=000

or edit your fstab to mount it at boot with those umak settings.
