WOW mounting problems with permissions

Wow ok. i just installed the new SuSe 10.0 and everything is working fine.I double boot with 2 windows partions and one partion for data (so in total 4 partitions, one for suse

).

On the data partition i have a lot of music and movies that i got over the years i would like to watch/listem to them in linux.

so i went and type

mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1

as root

but as a normal user i have no access to this files so i went and chmod and chown most files i use but this is greatly inconvinent and time consuming. also when i try to change the mode and owners of the files in the partition it gives me this error

chown: changing permissions of `Pure_Pwnage_108.avi': Operation not supported
chmod: changing permissions of `Pure_Pwnage_108.avi': Operation not supported

i read something in the manual about setting up users and groups when mounting but i didnt really get it :S

HELP?????
i want access to all my mounted partitions as a normal user

thanks in advance

NTFS

Code:

sudo mount /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 -t ntfs -o nls=utf8,umask=0222

FAT

Code:

sudo mount /dev/hda1 /media/windows/ -t vfat -o iocharset=utf8,umask=000

Thanks to http://ubuntuguide.org/#mountunmountntfs. Check out that link to see how to get the partitions mounted when your system boots up.

btw: I got FPS Doug's headshot and Jeremy's "i pwn n00bs" t-shirts last week off their website. :P

Ok that works perfectly but everytime i turn off the pc or restart it the mounted partitions are gone

i know there is a way to make it permant by changing fstab in etc/ but i dont know what to do

here is my fstab file

/dev/hda6 / ext3 acl,user_xattr 1 1
/dev/hdb2 /home ext3 defaults 1 2
/dev/hda7 swap swap defaults 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
sysfs /sys sysfs noauto 0 0
usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs noauto 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts mode=0620,gid=5 0 0
/dev/dvdram /media/dvdram subfs noauto,fs=cdfss,ro,procuid,nosuid,nodev
,exec,iocharset=utf8 0 0
/dev/fd0 /media/floppy subfs noauto,fs=floppyfss,procuid,nodev,nosui
d,sync 0 0
none /subdomain subdomainfs noauto 0 0

i have three partitions that are ntfs and i want to add them to the fstab file

they are located at

/dev/hda1
/dev/hda5
/dev/hdb5

Thanks in advance

In fstab

Code:

/dev/hda1     /media/hda1        ntfs    nls=utf8,umask=0222 0       0
/dev/hda5     /media/hda5        ntfs    nls=utf8,umask=0222 0       0
/dev/hdb5     /media/hdb5       ntfs    nls=utf8,umask=0222 0       0

The parts in bold can be changed to whatever you like. Make sure you create the directories first. Once you've created the directories and added the above entries into fstab, as root type "mount -a".
