LinuxQuestions.org - "Permission Denied" while accessing ntfs partition in user mode

hi everyone,

Im using fedora core 5 on my x86_64 based laptop, dual booted with WindowsXP. I have one NTFS partition and one FAT32 partition on the windows side.

i am using the "kernel-module-ntfs-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5-2.1.26-0.rr.10.5.x86_64"
. Now the problem im facing is that i get a "Permission Denied" error when i try to access that NTFS partition in user mode after ive mounted it, whereas im able to access it normally in superuser mode. I see a lock around that mount point`s icon when im logged in user mode, but not when im logged in as root. Heres what happens when i check the NTFS mount`s privileges and try to change them:

Code:

dr-x------ 1 root root 8192 Mar 21 11:33 C_ntfs

drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 8192 Dec 31  1969 D_vfat

chmod: changing permissions of `C_ntfs/': Read-only file system

so as u can see, im unable to change the permissions of that partition too..

also, heres my /etc/fstab/ file:

Code:

LABEL=/1                /                      ext3    defaults        1 1

LABEL=/boot1            /boot                  ext3    defaults        1 2

devpts                  /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0

tmpfs                  /dev/shm                tmpfs  defaults        0 0

proc                    /proc                  proc    defaults        0 0

sysfs                  /sys                    sysfs  defaults        0 0

LABEL=SWAP-hda7        swap                    swap    defaults        0 0

/dev/hda1                /mnt/C_ntfs                ntfs        rw,auto,users,exec,async,dev        0 0

/dev/hda5                /mnt/D_vfat                vfat        rw,auto,users,exec,async,dev        0 0

whats going on? :scratch:
thanks in advance,
