Sharing files between Suse8.2 and Windows XP
Posted: Sat Feb 21, 2004 12:24 pm
I've recently reinstalled my box: SuSE8.2 on one HDD and XP on another. Untill now I always used Win98.
My problem is that I cannot share files between linux and win. I've created a special FAT32-partition for this prupose and in XP i gave this partition free for other users (may change files). In Linux i try to change the owner and/or group from 'root' to 'myself' and/or 'users', but I get the message 'you do not have sufficient rights'. Also i cannot 'chmod' it to rwxrwxrwx or something like that. I just get no access.
Funny thing is that (as 'root') i _can_ create a subdir and change the owner for that subdir. But that subdir never shows up, when i switch to xp again!!
If i cannot solve this, i'm thinking of throwing the towel, reinstall 98 and forget all about testing my sites in IE6
Testing in IE5.5 will have to do, in that case
Does any1 have a clue what I've done wrong?
