NTFS (winxp) drive is accessible only by root, why NTFS (winxp) drive not accessible

Samppa72 · 07-26-2004, 01:55 PM

Okay, imy distro is mdk 10 and for some reason the fstab entry (that ive used along mdk 9 );

/dev/hdc5 /mnt/windows_osio ntfs umask=222,dmask=222 0 0

does not work anymore....
What I need is read-only access to my ntfs partition that holds all my mp3s...
Did I do something wrong.. cause only root can access the drive right now. pls help

Note... the part IS mounted, but accessible only by root user.
