Can't copy files in NTFS partition

[roncriss]

Hi
I have the same kind of problem and i have installed 3g-NTFS by 1-click install from the opensuse website,but still i can't copy some files to NTFS drives.
Do i have to configure anything more than this installation i just did?

Hi and Welcome !

Have you edited /etc/fstab file? Replace ntfs with ntfs-3g and set umask value to zero for all NTFS partitions in /etc/fstab.

If you have any trouble, post the contents of /etc/fstab file and output of fdisk -l command here.

su -
fdisk -l
cat /etc/fstab

Hi again ,i used the commands you gave to me and here are the results!
From what i can see here from these contents is fmask and dmask !so do i have to change these two values to 0?and also i can see ntfs is already changed to ntfs-3g!
so what to do next?

Log in as root and open /etc/fstab file in your fav text editor ( Gedit or kate ).
Replace last three lines with this

/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_ST3160215AS_6RA2SKVY-part8 /hd/document ntfs-3g defaults,umask=0 0 0
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_ST3160215AS_6RA2SKVY-part5 /hd/vista ntfs-3g defaults,umask=0 0 0
/dev/disk/by-id/scsi-SATA_ST3160215AS_6RA2SKVY-part1 /hd/xp ntfs-3g defaults,umask=0 0 0

Save file and execute mount -a command Or reboot machine. All users will have write access in NTFS Partitions.
