Just installed linux on my friends computer, and added /dev/hda1 to his fstab, it mounted fine, but only root can access it. How would i go about fixing this?...

Add this line to /etc/fstab
/dev/hda1 /windows ntfs nls=utf8,umask=0222 0 0
...after you've made a directory called "windows," of course.

Or you could simply put this in the options section of the fstab.
uid=0000
where the 0's are his user ID.
