cant see windows partitions except as root
 

i have a ntfs partition with windowsXP on a partition and a different linux partition but i cant mount or see any of the files on the windows partition unless im logged in as root. the line in fstab looks like:

/dev/hda1 /windows ntfs ro,user 1 0

its mounted on bootup but if i try to access it while im not root i get a permission denied error and i tried to change the permissions using "chmod o=r /windows" but that wont work

add umask=000 so you get

hey that worked perfectly! thx :)
