Ok guys this is my /etc/fstab/

Code:

LABEL=/                 /                       ext3    defaults        1 1
LABEL=/boot             /boot                   ext3    defaults        1 2
none                    /dev/pts                devpts  gid=5,mode=620  0 0
none                    /proc                   proc    defaults        0 0
none                    /dev/shm                tmpfs   defaults        0 0
/dev/hdb3               swap                    swap    defaults        0 0
/dev/hda1 /mnt/windows ntfs ro,umask=0222                         0 0
~
/dev/cdrom              /mnt/cdrom              udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0
/dev/cdrom1             /mnt/cdrom1             udf,iso9660 noauto,owner,kudzu,ro 0 0

Ok here is the problem I am trying to mnt a NTFS windows partition (HDA1) on startup, however, it does not work. I also need it to be accessable by all users and although I can mount it, it can only be accessed by the root user. Anyway I am sure I am doing something stupid wrong so please let me know.

To the best of my recollection, the kernel(s) inculded in RH9 do not have NTFS support. At the time of RH9, NTFS support in the kernel was even more experimental than it is now.

google for redhat ntfs, you'll find a link with rpm and install instructions.

Hello,
or you can compile your kernel to make it "read" the NTFS part.
( writing to ntfs is still not recommended, being in experimental phase )
