According to the man page, "ntfs-3g" is the command used instead of the usual mount command.

For fstab, you use "ntfs-3g" instead of "auto" or "ntfs"... ie:
/dev/<your partition> /media/<mount point> ntfs-3g defaults 0 0

by the way I noted you like RPGs, well since then ONLY reason I dual boot XP is the odd game, Which do you use?

Oh - looking up my profile? Well done

though OT.

The RPG genera of computer games pretty much suck compared with desktop RPGs.
Though I was happy with Ultima. (Ultima IV will run in linux - earlier ultimas will run with an emulator - and later ultimas have a compatibility layer.

Desktop RPGs: GURPS and Amber.

No further discussion.

At last!!! got all working. downloaded the latest fuse, compiled it (a first for me). Selinux disabled, not sure if the fuse thing was what did the trick but I'm a happy bunny now!!! All working well...both partitions ext3 and ntfs on the usb hdd show up in /media and automount when I switch the disk on.
:-)

Well, thanks for your help, much appreciated.
