QTparted cant see the drive /dev/hdf1 but the system can - so much for 
QTparted..
anyway...
Its mounted ( FAT32 ) and readable/writable by the user.
So I shared it via samba and its visible on the LAN but not writable via 
the LAN.
Other machines can read the contents of the drive but not write to it..

its mounted at /media/Maxtor40/
How do I make the whole drive writable to anyone on the LAN?

I've tried sudo chmod 777 /media/Maxtor40 but nothings changed.
And when I check permissions via Konqueror its not writable to Group or 
Others.
If I change those permissions using Konqueror, nothing changes - 
checking again they are back to not writable.

cheers
Chris
