Hi all,

While installing Ubuntu I have created a Fat32 partition of 5 GB to
exchance files with Windows; now the problem is that I cannot see that
partition from linux(or I am looking at the wrong places). I have sda1,
sda2 (which I cannot see inside due to a permission conflict).Message is
"You do not have the permissions necessary to view the contents of "sda2"".

I again get a permission error while trying to copy a file with 

cp deneme.cpp /home/
 

error is

cp: cannot create regular file `/home/deneme.cpp': Permission denied

This must be a very simple operation but still a problem for me

Comments on exchanging and copying??

Regards.

Umut
