How is the partition mounted?
What's it used for?
Can you look at the properties and tell us what you find

Re: Not full control over FAT32 folder
If you have a "lock" it means Read only and in normal circumstances it's put there to prevent several applications from making changes at the same time, which of course can be detrimental (to say the least )

Re: Not full control over FAT32 folder
Can you post the output of this command (in a terminal window):
Copy & paste to avoid any typos!
FAT32 usually will be mounted as root owned, or read only, you most likely have to edit some options in fstab It would be better to use NTFS or ext3 as shared (NTFS is supported as read write by default in Daryna, if I remember correctly, ext3 support can be "downloaded" in XP).
Code: Select all
% cat /etc/fstabFAT32 usually will be mounted as root owned, or read only, you most likely have to edit some options in fstab

Re: Not full control over FAT32 folder
I see that MagnusB has made a classic error
The % should not be there - apart from that it's correct
If you get such an error message it's pretty clear that % is what's wrong
Another way of doing this is to open /etc/fstab for reading and copy the content

Re: Not full control over FAT32 folder
Sorry, I always use % when I give more than one line to indicate a new line, sorry about that, old habit die hard, and Husse is completely right, the % is not a part of the command..

Re: Not full control over FAT32 folder
Hey, I have a similar problem ! I thought I solved it a few days ago by modifying my /etc/fstab file with such lines:
but now I have a strange behaviour (bug ?):
When I first start Mint, I have full access to my FAT32 partition, I can read/create/delete any files and folders in it. But after I launch some program accessing that partition (Firefox, Thunderbird, Opera all share theire profiles between Linux and Windows) all folders become read only, and a lock appears on them in nautilus !?
What the heck is that ? I was able to use them freely for a few days and now it locks everytime !
Any idea ?
EDIT: well, don't mind, I think I have found the reason... http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=553864
