Not Able to Access NTFS as normal user
Hello It seems that I am not able to access the NTFS partitions using normal user (but able to read them using root),no matter what I do which is weird.
I'm looking to just read /g and I've tried different combinations but nothing seems to work. I took out uid and gid options, changed them, nada. I also installed Captive-NTFS but no avail.
I'm using the 2.6.13 kernel and the NTFS support is built-in. I've also checked google and LQ and nothing seemed to work.

Yup, gives me "unable to load nls charset utf8" error though...Google didn't help me on that one...Is that a kernel module maybe? I saw some stuff on it and kernels...Though I don't think it could be it.
I'll be honest. I don't know that much about /etc/fstab.
I gave you that mounting advice because it worked for me (I copied and pasted it out of the Ubuntu Guide).
