Hi all, I have mounted my two XP NTFS drives successfully however am having troubles with accessing them. I can get temporary access by going in as root and setting permissions to all users for modify and read access but that dies after about an hour or so. My etc fstab lines look like.... /dev/hda1 /mnt/win1 ntfs nosuid,rw 0 0 /dev/hdb1 /mnt/win2 ntfs nosuid,rw 0 0 and that mounts them fine at boot. I found this thread at Fedora Forums http://www.fedoraforum.org/forum/showthread.php?t=22035 which suggests I use; /dev/hda1 /mnt/win1 -t ntfs -r -o umask=0222 in fstab so I tried it out. It worked like a charm and gave me full access to the drives. But, when I reboot it does not remount the drives and when I go to mount or unmount other things it tells me that the lines that contain that code contain errors? Can anyone give me a foolproof way for these drives to be mounted on startup and allow full access to all users? Cheers Mark
