Okay looking through the forum here´s my fstab file:

 

# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details

You have a lot of options on there, I'm not even sure they are relevant for ntfs.

 

Unplug your usb stick, then check the /etc/fstab file to see if the /dev/sdb1 line disappears or not.

 

If it doesn't, make a copy of your /etc/fstab file, then remove this line completely, and then reconnect your usb stick and see if it's any better.

After unplugging , this is what is says:

/dev/hda2 /mnt/win_c vfat umask=0,iocharset=utf8 0 0

1. Do you have a serial ATA harddisk?

2. Is the USB stick REALLY formatted as NTFS? If it is, you can only access it as root, unless you alter the udev rules. If interested, I can tell you how, but why not format the pen drive as FAT32 (vfat), so you'll have read/write access? (on NTFS filesystem you can only read under a normal Linux kernel).

Yes and an IDE

The stick is not mine, I borrowed it from a friend to get some files, he only uses windows ;)

 

Could you please tell how to access the stick? B)

Simply enough plug it, and then hit alt+F2 and

kdesu konqueror

(provide the root password).

You will find it mounted under /mnt/DATA_XXX (or something pretty close to that, in the /mnt directory) and be able to browse the contents. You will also be able to copy files to your harddisk, but not write files to the stick.

The files written to your harddisk will have root ownership, if you want to access them as normal user you must chown them ( rightclick the copied file in the root konqueror, "properties", permissions and there change ownership to ffi/users or whatever your user and usergroup are ).
