Apologies for asking this question which I know has been asked before and to which I did know the answer but after searching the oS documentation and googling I am still non the wiser. I just installed oS 11.4 on a set of drives which also have XP installed. From oS I can read files from the Windows partitions but cannot write to them as user (but can as root) - so it is a permission problem. The (typical) entry in fstab for the Windows partions is: /dev/disk/by-id/ata-WDC_WDxxxxx -part8 /windows/G ntfs-3g users,gid=users,fmask=133,dmask=022,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0 Could someone please point me to the place where I can solve this problem?
