Comment: (I don't have an ubuntu system in front of me, but this should work...maybe.) Try commenting out (putting a # in front of) the line in the fstab and using this method to recreate a new and better(?) one: 1) Make sure that the user has permission to access to the disk (ie. is in the "disk" group or similar). Use the user management tool in Gnome to do this. 2) Find out which group is most appropriate to use: type "groups" in the console as the user you want to have access to the drive and make note of the most appropriate-sounding group. 3) Edit /etc/fstab and enter the following line: /dev/hda1 /media/hda1 ntfs defaults,gid=<groupname>,group,umask=227 0 0 ...and replace <groupname> with the name of the group you picked. Please post your results. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
