chmod problens



Hi all!

I have an AMD box with win98 and RH7.1 on it. When installing RH, I've 
mounted the c, d and e DOS partitions on /dos/c, /dos/d and /dos/e 
respectively. Naturally these partitions owned by root, and the world can 
only read them. I need to make them fully accessible to all the world. I 
mean: to give all the world wright, read, execute permitions on all the files 
that exist now on the c,d and e DOS partitions and all the files that will be 
created on them in the future. I've tried all of the following combinations 
(as root):
chmod -R 777 /dos/
chmod -R 777 /dos/*
chmod -R 777 /dos/c ; chmod -R 777 /dos/d  and chmod -R 777 /dos/e*
chmod -R 777 /dos/c*; chmod -R 777 /dos/d*  and chmod -R 777 /dos/e*

I've also tried to replace 777 with a+rwx

None of the commands worked

What have I done wrong?

After I achieve my goal, can I assure that all the new files created on these 
partitions (both created winthin Lin or win) will be fully accessable to all 
the world

Thanks a lot!
