hello there. i can mount my devices under root, but not under user login. any suggestions?

if they alerady have full fstab entries, add "user" to the options for the relevant devices and you should be fine. if they have no fstab entry you must create one.

The following is my fstab:
/dev/hdb5 / ext2 errors=remount-ro 0 1
/dev/hdb1 none swap sw 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/fd0 /floppy auto user,noauto 0 0
/dev/hda1 /xpsystem ntfs auto,users,exec,ro 0 0
/dev/hda2 /storage ntfs auto,users,exec,rw 0 0
/dev/hdc /mnt/cdrw iso9660 rw,auto,aristos 0 0
/dev/hdd /mnt/dvd iso9660 r0,auto 0 0

Unfortunately i can not see hda2 under root. Also all of the above cannot be seen as user. how can i do it? The user name is aristos

I suppose you want to write to this partition:
/dev/hda2 /storage ntfs auto,users,exec,rw 0 0
you won't be able to do it (as root or otherwise). If you want a partition for shared data with windows, make a fat32 (called vfat under linux) partition.

As for seeing the contents of the partitions as non-root. Add the option umask=0 to the entries. E.g.:
/dev/hda1 /xpsystem ntfs auto,users,exec,ro,umask=0 0 0
