Hi!
I cannot get write permissions on a newly formatted partition.
I formatted and mounted a former windows partition on my hard drive as
described in http://www.ubuntuguide.org/ - only problem is that when
I try write on the partitions, I get the following error:
"cp: cannot create regular file `/media/anime/test.txt': Permission denied"
With sudo, it works to write of course.
I get some hits when googling for this, but all of them seem to be for
more complex setups.
I also tried manipulating the mounting options, but it didn't help.
thanks for any help on this.

my fstab looks like this, where hda7 is the problematic partition:
# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass>
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hda8 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hda6 /home ext3 defaults 0 2
/dev/hda5 none swap sw 0 0
/dev/hdc /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 ro,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0
/dev/hda7 /media/anime ext3 defaults 0 2
