Accessing Win98 partition

[Rodney Kanno]

Hi

I upgraded to Mandrake 8.1 (Sweet!) and I cannot write to my windows 
partition anymore. When I was running Mandrake 8.0, no problem. I have tried 
making a group called "msdos" and gave it permissions "777". I included the 
msdos group to my user account, but I still cannot write to te partition, am 
I doing something wrong or missing something here?

thanks,
Rodney
