Hello all!

I am facing a little problem. Actually for long time.
But every time managed to get out unknowingly. This
time I want to know what actually happens.

Below is `ls` of my /mnt directory.

--->"back" is my backup partition on 40 GB hard drive.
--->"C" is for mounting vfat "C:\" on another 20 GB HDD.
--->"D" for mounting vfat "D:\" [for data compatibility with
my friends' computers.]

total 24
drwxrwxrwx 7 digitalsecure digitalsecure 4096 Apr 9 17:16 back
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 12 17:45 C
dr-xr-xr-x 1 root root 4096 Feb 18 16:38 cdrom
drwxr--r-- 8 root root 8192 Jan 1 1970 D
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Feb 9 15:12 floppy

Problem is my "back" partition belongs to my user account
but "D" does not. As can be seen I am unable to access any
data on "D". If I try changing the ownership or mode, I am
denied the permissions, Even if I am doing it as root.

How can I get rid of it? How can I change permissions or
ownership?

Thanx in advance.

regards
--Himanshu
