Hi Guys This is an extract from my /etc/fstab - "/dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 ntfs,ro,noauto,users,exec,uid=mark,gid=mark 0 0". As user mark I cannot open this folder, but can as root. The installation is a hd install from a knoppix CD, giving me pretty much a woody installation AFAIK. Could anyone tell me whats wrong with that fstab entry, and perhaps tell me how to access it as user. Regards Mark A
