    Code:
    /dev/sda5 /media/SHARED vfat sync,nodev,nosuid,user,rw,auto 0 0
    Oh, sorry I never actually explained on that line, that should be added to your /etc/fstab file, some parts of it can be left off, they are actually unneeded since they are defaults, like sync, rw and auto, but specify them anyway, just to be sure.
    Code:
    gksu gedit /etc/fstab
    Delete the current line and add that one in it's place.

    I'm having the same problem but modifying the code didn't help. Is there anything else I can try?
