Hi I followed the instructions as per ntfs drives and did all the command line stuff and they worked fine but when I put the command lines into my fstab the come up as bad lines LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults 1 1 none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0 none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0 LABEL=/home /home ext3 defaults 1 2 none /proc proc defaults 0 0 none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0 LABEL=/usr /usr ext3 defaults 1 2 /dev/hdb5 swap swap defaults 0 0 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0 /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner,kudzu 0 0 /dev/hda1 /mnt/Windoz -t ntfs -r -o unmask=0222 /dev/hda2 /mnt/Bits -t ntfs -r -o unmask=0222 if I run the two above lines at the prompt they work? Cheers Pete
