Mounting NTFS-partitions
 

Okay, I problem arose while installing SuSE 10.0. I adjusted my SATA drive and now after the installation the linux didn´t mount my windows drives at all.

I know that I can mount them manually but is there a automatic procedure for this and if I do this manually (editing /etc/fstab) what kind of options I need for those NTFS-partitions?

So far I have this kind of line:
/dev/sd6 /Windows/Images ntfs ro,user 0 0
/dev/sd7 /Windows/Movies ntfs ro,user 0 0
/dev/sd8 /Windows/Games ntfs ro,user 0 0
/dev/sd9 /Windows/Temp ntfs ro,user 0 0

Are these okay or not?
If I understood the system correctly I just add the above lines to fstab and boot the machine and the drives should be mounted? Also the /Windows/Movies etc. directories must be created before fstab will work, right?

You're right. You can change the "user" option to "users" to let everyone on your system mount/unmount ntfs partitions. Also you can add "auto" to mount partitions on boot.
Yes, you have to create those dirs berfore mounting

Okay, I got it working with these kind of lines in fstab:
/dev/sda6 /mnt/Movies ntfs auto,ro,users 0 0

Problem now is that I still can't access those partitions although I can see them. When I click a partition it states "could't move to directory /mnt/Movies". Any idea where's the problem?

Edit: Apparantly only root can access the partitions even though I have the "users" option in the fstab. How can I fix this so that all users can access these partitions?

Add the "umask=000":

I have ubuntu 5.10 breezy and I tried this but it isn't working. I need to mount my ntfs partition and another harddisk so I can read files from them.. this might help:
