did you set permissions?.....also NTFS should be read only...unless you are using the newer driver but I dont recommend that...

i got a way around it(this might be a newbie way, but it still work).

1. i used synaptic package manager to install ntfsprog
2. u can use apt-get install ntfsprog

3. run
Quote:
modprobe fuse
fdisk -l
ntfsmount /dev/hda# /dev/dir
4.mounting via fstab (before 1.12.1)
Quote:
#!/bin/bash

DEVICE="$1"
MOUNTPOINT="$2"
shift
shift
OPTIONS="$@"
ntfsmount ${MOUNTPOINT} -o dev=${DEVICE},${OPTIONS}


Quote:
mounting via fstab (in 1.12.1 and later)

If you are using ntfsprogs-1.12.1 or later, you only need to place something like this in /etc/fstab:

/dev/hda1 /mnt/c ntfs-fuse fmask=0111,dmask=0,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0

hope this helps
