neocytrix Posted December 31, 2006 Report Share Posted December 31, 2006 Hello all, I have been trying to make my windows drive accessable from my user account. However, everytime I try to open it, a message box pops up and says that I don't have sufficient privilages. So I log on as root and when I got to change the privilages, it says that it cannot change the permissions. Below is a copy of my fstab file. # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/hda6 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/hda5 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/hdb /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,auto 0 0 /dev/hdc /media/cdrom1 udf,iso9660 user,auto 0 0 /dev/fd0 /media/floppy0 auto rw,user,noauto 0 0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs rw,user,auto 0 0 Any help would be appreciated, im completely stumped. -neocytrix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ianw1974 Posted January 1, 2007 Report Share Posted January 1, 2007 Add: umask=0 to the line where you put user, etc. And change rw to ro, as Linux cannot write to NTFS by default, and not completely reliable right now at this moment in time if you had the right packages installed.
