How would I write a script to mount non linux partitions? some are VFAT
and some are NTFS. I would also like to have full access (privilages)

I would like to have my root user password passed on as part of the script.

I've tried the following with no success, where <donald> is the user's name:

su
mount /dev/hda6 /home/donald/Desktop/WindowsFiles

su --password=rootpassword
mount /dev/hda6 /home/donald/Desktop/WindowsFiles

I have saved the script to my desktop with the .sh extension. Either
way, when I try running it, it still opens a terminal prompting me for
the root user password.
