Windows partition - change Rights in Linux

Hi all
simple question

I got a partition (FAT32) formated from windows
Created 1 folder (unix)

I go in Linux(mandrake 10.1)
get to that HD
su
log as root
ls -l
drwxrwxr-x unix

chmod 777 unix
ls -l
drwxrwxr-x unix

chmod o+w unix
ls- l
drwxrwxr-x unix


All im trying to do, is that in that folder I want to save dloads from the internet but as you probly guessed, i cannot save to that directory Access denied

so here I am getting irritated....

I thought of formating the drive from linux but I wanted to understand what was the issue before.
