command line, mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/ntfs, to mount it automatically add a line to your /etc/fstab

Just a note: You can't write to an NTFS yet, only read

Small clarification: you can write to a ntfs filesystem from linux, it's just considered dangerous and experimental.

Question
and how do i make this available to other users? i mean, i can mount the ntfs partition, but only root has access to it. how can i give access to other users??

i've already read all the mount and fstab man pages, and searched the web for this, but anything seems to work... any ideas?

in /etc/fstab:

/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs user,noauto,ro 0 0

then you can mount as user and then you can also access the files there

i'm able to mount it with KwikDisk utility, but i still can't access it, it says something like "you don't have the rights to access /dev/hda2"... just root can do it...

ok, just add the uid, gid and umask options to the fstab line...

/dev/hda2 /mnt/ntfs uid=500,gid=500,umask=555
