Nope! Still not working But at least if someone searches similar problems on google they'll find a bunch of solutions here. Maybe I have screwed things up big time now since this is acting so strangely that even root can't change anything.

Hey,

don't despare, the umask=0 is what makes your root account freak out.

try this last:

tipe id youruser in a terminal; on mine it tells uid=1000(q9c9p) gid=1000(q9c9p) ( plus more stuff ),
then in the fstab type:

/dev/sdb1 /windows vfat defaults,rw,uid=1000,gid=1000,umask=000  0  0

then do again mount -a or restart the computer and do a chown -R youruser.yourgroup /windows as root.

Also check out this link https://help.ubuntu....ndowsPartitions

Hope this time it works out, and by the way I'm hanging out in the chat of ks if you want immediate help.

Ciao,

Well, the code you posted didn't work, but instead, the code in your link helped me a bit. I used this in the fstab and now it's working now (I confirmed it by restarting)

/dev/sdb1 /windows vfat defaults,user,exec,uid=1000,gid=100,umask=000

It might be the "user" ( I didn't change it, I forgot. But hey, it's working!) or maybe "exec" that made the difference or something completely else, I don't know.

Thanks for being so patient and helping to you both! I don't think it'll take a long time until you have to help me with another screw-up of mine, so don't think it's all over yet.
