Some time ago I posted a thread inquiring about programs which allow automounting of partitions and assigning names to those. An anon suggested Storage Device Manager. Shortly afterward the thread was lost in a db rollback.

Anyway, I've been using SDM, but I'm having write permission issues. I can read the partition, and execute (most of) the programs I keep there. The thing is, most of them are portable types which can be run from a flash drive and store the configuration in the program folder itself. But the SDM is treating the drive as read-only, even though I don't have that setting enabled. If I mess around with the setting and manage to enable writing, it either disables the ability to execute the programs (why????) or just doesn't auto-mount like it's supposed to.

I just want a partition that's read/writable from XP and Ubuntu without session lockout issues!
Write permissions are mainly affecting these programs:
uTorrent
IrfanView
JpegCrop
MediaCoder

GoldWave and Notepad++ don't have their file history saved, but that's negligible.

I can edit the text files if I go superuser and open them from cli, but otherwise it's gives a permission error.
