Thanks for helping me see what I needed to do. However, it did not work. I had to use fsutil to force c: drive to be "dirty" so windoze would check it. Finally it did and there were no errors. Rebooting into linux and I still have the problem. ie. The windoze partition is mounted automatically fine, but I can only cd to it if I am root. Again, my /etc/fstab is: # /etc/fstab: static file system information. # # <file system> <mount point> <type> <options> <dump> <pass> proc /proc proc defaults 0 0 /dev/sda1 /windoze ntfs user,auto,ro 0 0 /dev/sda2 / ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1 /dev/sda8 /home ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/sda7 /tmp ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/sda5 /usr ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/sda6 /var ext3 defaults 0 2 /dev/sda3 none swap sw 0 0 /dev/hda /media/cdrom0 udf,iso9660 user,noauto 0 0 I tried googling the ntfs error msg above but there isn't much. Perhaps, I should try to contact the developers of this ntfs support for linux. How would I go about that? Or are there other ideas? I appreciate the help.
