FAT32 RW problems

[Camuzat Sebastien]

Hi steve, Hi everyone,
Actually, Ive tried every entry possible in my fstab,
including the one you told me...

And even as owner of the hard drive (with RW
capability showon in 'properties'), I cannot write
because ubuntu always says the file is mounted on a
read-only system file disk.

Maybe Ive a problem with the bios config...?
Ive got one disk with two OS (msouine & ubuntu),
Master HD, and another with data (FAT32), slave HD
