Unhappy SUSE 8.2 mount NTFS problem


hey guys greetings here from philippines.

i have a question in SUSE 8.2.
i mounted my ntfs drive in linux.... well it works smooth...
but the problem is i couldn't copy file from my linux partition to ntfs patition... i tried to to edit the fstab for my ntfs partition changing the ro option to rw to make it writable but no use! .... then i browse to my mount point usually root/winntsdrive/C then change it permission to all writable.... but still has an error messege... that ses i could'n change permision....what should i do to make my ntfs partition writable in linux mode.

thanks in advance

hmm..if you can convert to FAT32 I wouldnt recommend it. Its very risky.

Id just make a small FAT32 partition so you can transfer between OSs. Thats what I do at least.
