Click on Start->Execute (don't know how this is exactly called on English windoze) or open a command window (cmd.exe). There, type: chkdsk /f . Tell windoze you want it to check the disk at reboot. Reboot into windoze, and let chkdsk repair the disk. Then reboot into linux and see what happens.

Thanks for helping me see what I needed to do.  However, it did not
work.  I had to use fsutil to force c: drive to be "dirty" so windoze
would check it.  Finally it did and there were no errors.  Rebooting
into linux and I still have the problem.  ie.  The windoze partition is
mounted automatically fine, but I can only cd to it if I am root.

Again, my /etc/fstab is:

# /etc/fstab: static file system information.
#
# <file system> <mount point>   <type>  <options>       <dump>  <pass>
proc            /proc           proc    defaults        0       0
/dev/sda1       /windoze        ntfs    user,auto,ro    0       0
/dev/sda2       /               ext3    defaults,errors=remount-ro 0
1
/dev/sda8       /home           ext3    defaults        0       2
/dev/sda7       /tmp            ext3    defaults        0       2
/dev/sda5       /usr            ext3    defaults        0       2
/dev/sda6       /var            ext3    defaults        0       2
/dev/sda3       none            swap    sw              0       0
/dev/hda        /media/cdrom0   udf,iso9660 user,noauto     0       0

I tried googling the ntfs error msg above but there isn't much.
Perhaps, I should try to contact the developers of this ntfs support for
linux.  How would I go about that?  Or are there other ideas?  I
appreciate the help.

Thanks,
