Look at the page that Paul and Tim sent you a link to. When you get the options you want, put them in /etc/fstab after the word "default" with a comma separating them. E.g. using the same options as the website, your fstab entry would look like: /dev/hda2 /dos ntfs defaults,umask=0027,uid=flatcap,gid=winuser 0 0 You probably want uid and gid to be your username. You might also want to put the "user" option in there to allow normal users to mount/umount the drive. Also, you probably want the "ro" option as writing to NTFS is very limited and potentially dangerous. Jonathan
