During the installation process I partitioned the hardrive such that the /dev/hda3 part (vfat formatted) is about 2.5 GB. The disk mounts properly (per fstab) as /media/hdd.
The problem is that when I use GPE as a non-root user (e.g. "user"), I can not write to the /media/hdd. I checked the ownerships and the /media/hdd drectory is owned by "root, root".
I can change the ownership to "user, user" after unmounting the /dev/hd3 but as soon as the disk gets re-mounted the ownership goes back to "root, root".
How can provide access to the /media/hdd to a non-rrot user?

I have edited the fstab file as follows:
/dev/hda3 /media/hdd vfat umask=000 0 0
Everything works now!
