    Dear all,

    I have a FAT32 partition on my disk, namely /dev/hda6, that has been mounted
    in defaults mode on the directory /windows/File_Sharing.
    The owner is root and group is root too. Well, I would like to be able to save
    my WinXP/Linux documents that have to be shared between the OS without being
    root: I know the usage of command chmod/chown, but every time I try to use
    this command as root on File_Sharing subdrectories,

    chmod -R <username>.users <dirname>

    or (the user belong both to users and root groups)

    chmod -R <username>.root <dirname>

    I experienxce troubles and errors like this one:

    OPERATION NOT PERMITTED

    do you have any suggestion about solving this "simple" problem??

    Thanks

    LM
