Mounting windows partition under Slack

I have windows XP in /dev/ha1 and Slackware installed on /dev/hda6

Currently, the windows partition mounts under /windows but only root can access it and it is read only

How can I mount the windows partition so that all users can access it?

Try

Code:

---

chmod 755 /windows

---

as root in the terminal

No good, the chmod seemed to run ok, and it output "chmod: changing permissions of `windows': Read-only file system" but when i tried to enter the directory as a normal user, it says "permission denied" (root cxan access it fine)

Ok, (I take it that /dev/hda1 was mounted at the time), try

Code:

---

chmod 777 /windows

---

i've got that working with a simmilar proble in suse;

dylunio

Nope, still doesn't work

try changing /etc/fstab this is mine, which allows users to mount, access, write

Code:

---

/dev/hda1        /mnt/media      vfat        noauto,users,rw,exec  1  0

---

Maybye you're using ntfs file system, then you must recompile kernel 2.6.10 with ntfs write support

I still haven't got this working

Windows is on /dev/hda1, ntfs filesystem
I want it to mount and be accessible by all users, but read only, as my kernel does not support ntfs writing (out of curiosity, how would i go about making it able to?)

What should my fstab look like for this configuration?

You need to do the editing to your fstab. And if you value your work, I still wouldn't trust the NTFS write support. You do not need write support to access it as another user. I would keep it out and use a FAT32 parition if you want to share files between your OSes and mainting write support on both ends.

OK, but I don't know exactly what I need to add to the fstab, any help would be appreciated
