[SOLVED] NTFS Read/Write help

[bonesTdog]

Drat - I have not been able to figure this out myself so I need a lifeline. I just upgraded from Fedora 14 to 16 and am struggling to get NTFS read/write working for the second hard drive in my notebook. Only the Owner has read/write access and I can not chmod permissions. Here is what I have done if anyone can point me in the right direction.

I installed ntfs-3g-2:..., ntfs-config and ntfsprogs. When I tried to start the GUI for ntfs-config I received the following error:
"ntfs-config need to be run as root, but I can't find a graphical authentication program. You should install gksu or kdesu. Alternatively, you can run ntfs-config from the terminal with su or sudo."

So, I installed beesu-2.7 but still receive the same error.

When I try to run ntfs-config from the terminal I receive this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/usr/bin/ntfs-config", line 102, in <module>
main(args, opts)
File "/usr/bin/ntfs-config", line 75, in main
app = NtfsConfig()
File "/usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/NtfsConfig/NtfsConfig.py", line 56, in __init__
os.mkdir(HAL_CONFIG_DIR)
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/etc/hal/fdi/policy'

Can anyone help get me pointed in the right direction?
Thanks.
