With setup in /etc/fstab mount by normal user is not recommended. If you insist on that, here are the steps: 1. # chmod a+rw /dev/hda1 2. # echo user_allow_other >> /etc/fuse.conf 3. # chmod +s /bin/ntfs-3g 4. $ ntfs-3g -o dmask=022,fmask=111 /dev/hda1 /mnt/win2k http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#unprivileged http://ntfs-3g.org/support.html#unprivileged While it is on my list of todos I haven't actually tried this yet. Also it may require more recent versions of ntfs-3g than you have for fc6.
