I have 2 dos partitions. One /dos/c who is NTFS and the other /dos/d who is FAT32. A normal user cannot access the NTFS partitions but only the FAT32. How do I grant acces with read-write-execute on all partitions for a normal user?

Here is my fstab file:

/dev/hda3 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hda2 / ext3 defaults 1 1
/dev/hda1 /dos/c ntfs ro 1 0
/dev/hdb1 /dos/d vfat defaults 1 0
/dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom auto noauto,owner,ro 0 0
/dev/hdd /mnt/dvdrom auto noauto,owner,ro 0 0
/dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy auto noauto,owner 0 0
devpts /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
proc /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0

Did You read the man-page for mount and fstab?

It says that by default the exec option is set,
however an ordinary user should not be able to write or execute files on arbitrary filesystems (sholud he?).
NTFS is AFAIK not write-capable under linux except for _some_ cases and then only on NT4 formatted paritions.
I would be glad if it would, and am still waiting the full rw support.
to wiev a manpage you jut type:
man mount
and exit with [q] ;-)
I hope it whas usefull?

That's right, you can't write to ntfs from linux. However you should be able to read files on the ntfs partition. Change the ro to umask=0

Sorry to disagree I write to NTFS from linux every time I use my laptop, the relevant ptograms are ntfs-3g and the fuse kernel module.

I AM NOT AN EXPERT. Read the documentation first.

With the technology developed with wine and fuse another way to get read write access to ntfs partitions is with the latest version of Captive. While previous versions used Windows system files the new version does not. Google the following two packages, download, expand the tarball and run the install script.
