thks in advance...

Lets Mount C windows
According to your fstab you would type mount /dev/hde1 in a terminal. If using KDE you could right click on desktop Select Create New Device Nfs and complete tabs

I assume you've made a folder called 'windows\C' in your root directory (according to your fstab file).
If so, open a terminal as root and enter the following:

mount /dev/hde1 /windows/C

I don't know for sure if it works with the NTFS filesystem, but you can always give it a try.

My fstab file looks like this and i can see all windows partitions, but i cannot delete from them. All i can do is copy the files. What am i missing?

/dev/hdc8 / ext3 defaults 1 1
none /dev/pts devpts mode=0620 0 0
none /mnt/cdrom supermount dev=/dev/scd0,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
none /mnt/cdrom2 supermount dev=/dev/hdb,fs=auto,ro,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
none /mnt/floppy supermount dev=/dev/fd0,fs=auto,--,iocharset=iso8859-1,sync,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
/dev/hdc1 /mnt/win_c ntfs iocharset=iso8859-1,ro,umask=0 0 0
/dev/sda1 /mnt/win_c2 vfat iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,umask=0 0 0
/dev/hdc5 /mnt/win_d ntfs iocharset=iso8859-1,ro,umask=0 0 0
/dev/hdc6 /mnt/win_e ntfs iocharset=iso8859-1,ro,umask=0 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
/dev/hdc7 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/sda1 /mnt/usbstick vfat user,noauto,umask=0 0 0

Try this line for the fat32 partition. I can't guarantee if it's gonna work, because I personally never had this problem.
If it does work, it's probably almost the same for the NTFS partitions. Try playing around a little with it. Good luck!

/dev/sda1 /mnt/win_c2 vfat umask=000,iocharset=iso8859-1,codepage=850,users 0 0

The Linux literature states that Linux does not have native support for NTFS.
You can read the partition but not write to it.

For that reason I have not tried it. There is no problem with Fat32.
Mount it as mount -t vfat
Mount NTFS as mount -t ntfs
Read the man pages on mount

at the shell prompt enter
man mount
or
mount --help
Do a search on this forum. I seem to recall someone listing an app that will allow you to write to a NTFS partition.
