No. It is helping you to learn to find the information yourself.

You did? Okay, that is all I can ask.

In the line in your fstab, do you see where all the other options are,
with commas between them? The part that says:
"umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850"?

Try adding ",uid=501,gid=501" to those. Leaving you with a line like
this in your fstab:

# 1        2           3    4(!)
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows vfat umask=0,iocharset=iso8859-15,codepage=850,uid=501,gid=501 0 0

In the middle of the fstab man-page it says:

 "The fourth field, (fs_mntops), describes the mount options associated
  with the filesystem.

  It is formatted as a comma separated list of options. It contains at
  least the type of mount plus any additional options appropriate to
  the filesystem type. For documentation on the available options for
  non- nfs file systems, see mount(8). For documentation on all
  nfs-specific options have a look at nfs(5). Common for all types of
  file system are the options ``noauto'' (do not mount when "mount -a"
  is given, e.g., at boot time), ``user'' (allow a user to mount), and
  ``owner'' (allow device owner to mount), and ``comment'' (e.g., for
  use by fstab-main- taining programs). The ``owner'' and ``comment''
  options are Linux- specific. For more details, see mount(8)."


  Best regards,
