Meinzen If you are trying to mount the drives as another user I understand exactly what you mean. Log in as root and go into the file manager. In the /etc folder right click on mount and hit properties. Go to the permissions and set it to full permissions, even suid, guid, and sticky. This will allow anyone to mount the drives. You can adjust the permission level to minimal, but this will make it work. Carter
