The reason I want to access the NTFS drive is so that I can bring over files from w2k to Linux. I need to access the drive to do this efffectively. I'm not going to write to the drive, just copy.
The problem I'm having is that I can only access the drive if I do it thru File Manager Super User. On my home system, I can access other drives without a problem (Because someone's gonna ask...my home win disk is FAT32. ). Secondly, when I do copy over a file (ms word doc for example) I need to access the permissions of the file to be able to open it in either StarOffice or thru Codeweavers Crossoffice. That's a real pain in the ass (opps, is this a family oriented site?). I believe the file problem is caused by me not being able to access the NTFS drive as a user or as read-only.
This is why I'm being a pest about all this. In order for me to switch from w2k to linux, I need to be effective.
Hear me, hear me....I'M NOT GOING TO WRITE TO THE NTFS DRIVE...JUST COPY FROM IT.
I boo-boo'd on the commas. I'll remove those and change the 2 to a 0.
Any ideas on not being able to access documents unless I'm root? I'm copying files while in root. Does that make a difference?
Chow!
Tom
P.S. I don't have this problem on my home system...just work.

As I mentioned to you before, even if you could get the partition mounted read/write you really don't want to write to it. The ntfs code in the kernel is not very good and has been know to corrupt the ntfs partition.

You shouldn't have commas after hda1 or C or ntfs. And you certainly shouldn't have the 2 there, change that to a 0. Not that I think fsck would touch an ntfs partition, but why take the risk?
regards Anders -- I swear I do declare - how did you get that there?
