pls help me to mount NTFS drive

[mlhazan]

I have hda5,hda6,hda7 and hda8.I mounted using the command:
sudo mount -t ntfs-3g /dev/hda5 /mnt/windows -o umask=0,nls=utf8


but each time my computer restarts ,I have to mount again.I tried to add :
/dev/hda5 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g umask=0,nls=utf8 0 0

It says permission denied.I was on the root but now what kind of permission do I need?

hi
add this line to your /etc/fstab file

/dev/hda5 /mnt/windows ntfs-3g umask=0000,user,rw,nls=utf8 0 0

btw add write permission for root on /etc/fstab

Execute this

gksu gedit /etc/fstab

Add this code for hda5

/dev/hda5   /mnt/windows   ntfs-3g   defaults,umask=0  0  0

It really worked gently.But there is still another problem.I can't access drives from Computer->drives,everytime I have to go to the mnt folder and access from there.Is there any way to access from Computer,I mean as we access in windows.

In nautilus, just pull your /mnt/Windows folder to the left navigation where "Home" usually is. Then it's always accessible, you can give the folder a HDD icon if you wish :P .
