working with NTFS partition

[franklin97355]

If I boot to LINUX there is an icon for hda1 (NTFS) but when I try to open it I get an error message saying I do not have rights. This is probably on the NTFS end but I thought I would ask here too.

Is hda1 mounted? Ensure it's in your /etc/fstab, the ntfs FS type is specified, and you may possibly need to add your UID and GID to get ownership rights. Another caveat is that your kernel may not have NTFS support enabled by default

As far as I can tell it's mounted there is a reference to it when i run mount. It's mounted ro and I am not allowed to unmount it. If I cd to the mount point I get a message that access is denied I do not have (permission or rights I don't remember the exact message). I will try changing the fstab but since this is a cd version (Knoppix) I'll have to do it every time.

Do you get the error msg below if you try to cd into the directory at the command line?

aragorn:/Wed Dec 25 {01:09pm}
~$ cd /var/
bash: cd: /var/: Permission denied

If so check the permissions on the directory. You need execute permissions to work w/ directories
