I've got the blkid terminal command & a couple good web pages. fstab is still messed up in Ubuntu, but I'll get it! Thanks again! BUT... I have a permission issue with that partition. I logged in as root, but could not effect change. Owner is unknown on this partition.

Rule of thumb: back up files before messing with them. In the case of
fstab, as root (or sudo):
cp /etc/fstab /etc/fstab.bak
That way you can always go back to what was working before you messed
with it.
By the way, I'm pretty sure most desktop environments have built-in
provisions for accessing ntfs, and you don't need to mess with fstab.
The ntfs drive is usually found under "computer" in the file manager.
