If you want to use NTFS partitions on standard user in Linux, you have to edit your /etc/fstab file. Login to root ('su' command in shell), and you will se:
root@<user home directory>$:_
Next type in shell 'cp /etc/fstab /root/'
Better make always copies of important system files.
After than we can edit our fstab file.
Type (in example, you can use any text editor, even vim): 'emacs /etc/fstab'
Your fstab file will be something like this:
CODE
/dev/hda2 / ext3 defaults 0 0
/dev/hda3 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/NTFS-C ntfs ro 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
pts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=600 0 0
/dev/fd0 /floppy vfat noauto 0 0
/dev/hdc /cdrom iso9660 noauto,ro,user 0 0
This is only example
edit line '/dev/hda1 /mnt/NTFS-C ntfs ro 0 0' and add 'user,umask=000'
This line should be like
CODE
'/dev/hda1 /mnt/NTFS-C ntfs ro,user,umask=000 0 0'
Save file and type in shell 'mount -a'
And that's all
