Access Permissions

[Benjamin Honsinger]

Hey, I need to allow my account (benh) to have full access to /dev/hda. I need to be able to mount and unmount it, read/write, etc. How do I allow this? I need to run VMware, and I don't think it's a great idea to run that as root. If anyone has used this program, it'd be great if someone could explain whether or not I should use the raw disk feature. I have win98 currently installed on /hda1 and would really like to use that, but I've been reading conflicting information on how risky raw disk is... Is it safe or not?
Thanks!

Benjamin
