The format of an /etc/fstab line is not the same as the format of the command-line arguments to "mount". Try: /dev/hda1 /mnt/Windoz ntfs ro,unmask=0222 0 0 /dev/hda2 /mnt/Bits ntfs ro,unmask=0222 0 0 You should probably also familiarize yourself with the fstab format (man fstab). FWIW this line works for me: /dev/hdc1 /mnt/win_c ntfs noauto,owner,ro 0 0
