    I have successfully mounted ntfs drive, but it is accessible only to the
    root user.
    As a regular user I get 'permission denied' error.
    What am I missing?
    Here's what I did as root.

    mount -t ntfs /dev/hda1 /mnt/C
    mount -t ntfs /dev/hda5 /mnt/D

    After making sure I was able to access both ntfs drives, I added the
    following to /etc/fstab

    /dev/hda1 /mnt/C ntfs defaults 0 0
    /dev/hda5 /mnt/D ntfs defaults 0 0

    Then I rebooted and logged on as a regular user.
    Now ls /mnt/C gives 'permission denied'.
    But if I log on as root I am able to access both ntfs drives just fine.
    I'm a Linux newbie, any help is appreciated.
