Hey guys... just wondering how can u mount ntfs drives permanentaly? i got about 3 partions and 1 external hd with ntfs format. i can see them on my desktop but when i right click > mount, i get the following message for every single one of them:
"could not mount device the error report was:
error opening partition device: permission denied
dailed to startup volume: permission denied
couldn't mount device '/dev/hda1': permission denied
mount failed"
i found that if you type this command in root shell "mount /dev/hda1 /media/hda1 -t ntfs -o umask=0222" then I'm able to mount the specific drive, (obviously replace hda1 to which ever drive i want). but when i restart my computer i need to type them again to mount the drives. is there any other way so i can mount them straight on when the knoppix starts? so i wouldn't need to type it again & again? all i need is read access. i have already tried the solutions i could find by editing fstab and adding my user account to "fuse" group. any help will be appreciated. please write in step by step format as i probably won't be able to understand the comfusing ones. thnx a lot in advance.
